2013 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · SG62 ADU

The 2013 Peugeot 207 is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 23 July 2026 recorded 66 854 miles and returned a clean pass with no defects. This outcome follows a period of intermittent failures and advisories, most notably the 7 August 2025 test that flagged a split front drive‑shaft CV boot, rear‑tyre wear, exhaust and oil leaks, and a defective wiper blade. The subsequent re‑test on the same day achieved a pass, indicating the issues were addressed, and the trend since 2022 shows a gradual improvement toward a more stable condition. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The first recorded MOT at 4 825 miles in October 2015 was followed by a steady rise of roughly 5 000 – 6 700 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps. By July 2026 the total reached 66 854 miles, equating to about 5 143 miles annually. This low‑usage pattern suggests the car has been stored or driven lightly, which typically reduces wear on consumables and mechanical components. Recurring faults that merit close inspection include the rear‑tyre edge wear noted in 2023, 2025 and the immediate pre‑pass; front‑lower suspension arm bushes worn in 2022; exhaust leaks observed in 2025 and earlier corrosion of front exhaust hangers in 2017; oil leaks present in 2025; a split front drive‑shaft CV boot in 2025; wiper‑blade defects in 2025 and 2018; and a broken rear backbox hanger recorded in 2018. The anti‑roll bar linkage showed excessive play in 2015, a fault that has not reappeared but indicates a history of linkage wear. A pre‑purchase inspection should prioritize the rear tyres for tread depth and edge wear, the front suspension bushes for excessive movement, the exhaust system for leaks and hanger security, the oil system for any sign of leakage, and the front drive‑shaft CV boots for tears. Visual checks on wiper blades, the rear backbox hanger, and the anti‑roll bar linkage will also reveal any lingering corrosion or wear. Given the low mileage and the recent clean MOT, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, provided these identified areas are verified during a hands‑on examination.
