2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · AF09 RVY

The Peugeot 207 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 29 November 2025 at 101,665 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. This follows a clean bill of health at the 22 November 2024 examination and the 4 November 2023 pass, showing no escalating mechanical concerns in the official record. The recorded mileage of 101,665 against a 2009 build date equates to roughly 5,980 miles per year, which is low for a 17-year-old car. Between the November 2023 test at 96,377 miles and November 2024 at 99,190 miles the car covered just 2,813 miles, then added 2,475 miles to the November 2025 figure. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods are likely, which can permit corrosion and perished rubber components even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. The record shows two failed tests on 28 November 2025 and 21 November 2024, each at near-identical mileages to the following day's passes, with no defects logged. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults, not recurring wear items. Still, a buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion, as low-mileage cars left idle often hide structural rust and degraded flexible mounts not caught in a pass with no advisories. Given the sparse and clean history, no specific recurring defect trend emerges from the data. A pre-purchase check should nonetheless confirm exhaust emissions, binding calipers and tyre sidewall condition, since the MOT offered no advisories to guide wear expectations on a vehicle of this age.
