2007 PEUGEOT 2061.4L Petrol

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state as the last recorded MOT test took place on 7 September 2021, leaving a gap of nearly five years until the current date of 30 July 2026. The maintenance trend shifted from stable to worsening in the final years of testing. While the car passed in 2021 at 77,217 miles, the tester flagged several significant defects including a coolant leak, a badly corroded fuel tank strap, and severely deteriorated CV boots and suspension ball joint covers. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nineteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,064 miles per year. A concerning pattern emerges between 2020 and 2021, where the odometer only moved from 67,594 to 77,217 miles over a year, but the vehicle suffered multiple rubber component failures. The presence of perishing tyres in 2017 and 2020 suggests the car spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of seals and rubber bushings. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and fuel system. The fuel tank strap failed in September 2019 and was flagged as badly corroded again in September 2021, indicating a persistent rust issue in the underbody. The recurring failure of the offside outer drive shaft CV boot across 2019, 2020, and 2021 suggests either poor quality repairs or a systemic failure of the drivetrain seals. The cooling system requires immediate verification due to the leak noted in the 2021 test. Given the long period of inactivity since the last certificate, the brake pads and discs likely require replacement to address the thin pads flagged in 2021 and potential surface corrosion. Any buyer should expect significant expenditure to address the accumulated neglect and age-related deterioration of the suspension and braking systems.
