2009 Peugeot 407 2.0L Diesel · AD59 EUN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a gradual shift towards wear-related component failures. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 83,421 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a period where minor mechanical issues were identified and addressed, suggesting the car is currently entering a phase where aging components require more frequent proactive attention. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,421 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of mechanical wear. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2021 and 2025, with the vehicle covering roughly 20,000 miles over four years. The low mileage suggests the car may have sat for extended periods, which frequently accounts for the surface corrosion seen on brake components noted in the later records. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension geometry. The record highlights a clear progression from a slightly loose nearside ball joint in 2023 at 74,488 miles to a worn nearside lower arm bush by 2024 at 80,194 miles. A buyer should check the entire front axle for excessive play in the bushes and joints, as these parts are repeatedly failing. Additionally, the pitted and scored rear brake discs from 2024 indicate that the braking system has suffered from moisture or inactivity, which should be checked for thickness and caliper operation to ensure the pistons are not seized.
