2010 Peugeot 407 1.6L Diesel · AD10 ACO

The 2023‑01‑26 MOT at 121,328 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged a near‑side front position lamp failure and a worn front lower suspension arm pin or bush, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy only if those items are remedied. The maintenance record shows a largely stable trend, with recurring minor defects such as oil leaks and slight ball‑joint play persisting across multiple tests rather than improving or worsening. Mileage has risen steadily from 31,978 miles in July 2013 to 121,328 miles by January 2023, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Peugeot 407. No large gaps appear in the log, and the intervals between tests average one to two years, confirming consistent annual kilometre accumulation without evidence of long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension components closely, checking for excessive movement in the lower arm pin or bush, play in the anti‑roll bar linkage and lower ball joint, and the condition of the front brake discs and pads, which have shown pitting and thin wear in earlier tests. The tyre sidewalls display cuts that did not reach the cords, so a full tread and sidewall inspection is advisable, while the windscreen chips and the unresolved position lamp defect also merit verification. Finally, the persistent oil leak and the need to replace worn suspension bushes and brake components suggest that, although the car passed the latest test, a thorough in‑person inspection and targeted repairs are required before purchase to ensure long‑term reliability.
