2004 Peugeot 407 2.0L Diesel · AP54 CVD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a successful inspection on 12 August 2025. This record indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car transitioned from a failure to a pass within an eight-day window during the most recent testing cycle. The absence of recorded advisories or defects across the last three successful tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, with no recurring mechanical failures noted in the provided history. The recorded mileage of 166,305 miles over a 22-year lifespan aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,559 miles per annum. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals between November 2023 and August 2025, indicating that the car has remained in regular use rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of mileage is generally preferable to long-term storage, which often leads to seized components and perished rubber seals. While the recent MOT records are clean, the age and mileage of this Peugeot 407 necessitate a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas that fall outside the scope of a basic emissions and safety test. Prospective buyers should prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these components frequently degrade on high-mileage examples of this chassis. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common failure points for vehicles that see intermittent use. Verify the structural integrity of the subframes and sills, as surface corrosion can often be masked by cosmetic undersealing. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a comprehensive visual check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and the exhaust system for signs of patching is essential to confirm the true mechanical health of the vehicle.
