2013 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · AX13 FKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in June 2024 at 79,858 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. This follows a clean pass in June 2023, but the significant failure just prior to that test reveals a history of allowing consumable wear items to deteriorate until they reached a legal failure point. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. There is a gap of 8,391 miles between the March 2022 and June 2023 tests, and another 7,002 miles recorded between June 2023 and June 2024. While the low annual mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain, the age of the vehicle is evident in the 2022 advisory regarding rubber perishing and cracking on the rear tyres. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension components, as the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage was flagged for play in March 2022 and failed for excessive wear in June 2023. The recurring issues with tyres worn on the edges or below the legal limit suggest potential alignment problems or neglected wheel maintenance. Additionally, the pitting and scoring on the brake discs noted in early 2022 indicate the braking components may be nearing the end of their effective life, which requires a check for current thickness and corrosion to ensure consistent stopping performance.
