2014 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · AK63 WNT

Recurring issues with exhaust emissions and fluid integrity define the mechanical profile of this Peugeot 207, which most recently passed its MOT on 17 January 2026. The vehicle's history shows a persistent pattern of exhaust-related failures, including multiple instances of lambda readings falling outside specified limits and reports of exhaust pipe blowing or leaks. This trend, combined with a continuous presence of oil leak advisories dating back to at least 2024, suggests ongoing concerns regarding the engine's sealing and the efficiency of the emission control systems. The vehicle has covered 87,877 miles over its approximately 12-year lifespan, representing an annual average of roughly 7,323 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a moderate level of wear on consumable components. While the mileage is not excessively high, the frequency of failures related to lighting, wipers, and exhaust components indicates that mechanical attention has been required periodically to maintain roadworthiness throughout its service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle, specifically regarding the reported oil leaks and the condition of the exhaust system. The most recent test flagged both a front pipe blowing and an exhaust leak at the back box in previous years, so a test drive should include listening for any unusual roaring or hissing sounds, particularly during acceleration or when the engine is under load. Additionally, the presence of split and cracking bushes on both front lower suspension arms means the driver should listen for knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these worn components can negatively affect steering precision and stability. The braking system also requires scrutiny due to advisories regarding corroded, pitted, and scored rear brake discs. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any pulsing or judder through the brake pedal or steering wheel when applying the brakes, as well as any uneven pulling to one side. Given the history of incorrect headlamp aims and indicator colour discrepancies, a thorough visual inspection of all exterior lighting and the effective operation of the windscreen wipers is also necessary to ensure all previous major failures have been fully rectified.
