2007 Peugeot 1007 1.4L Diesel · B2 TLS

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance history characterized by recurring minor-related failures and ongoing structural concerns. In the most recent test on July 2025 at 142,016 miles, the car failed due to an inoperative nearside rear lamp and an exhaust leak at the flexi-joint. While these are relatively simple repairs, the presence of general underbody corrosion is a recurring theme noted across several years. The July 2024 test at 83,492 miles showed worn front suspension arm bushes that had not yet reached the threshold of excessive movement. At 142,016 miles over 19 years, the car averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for a small city car. However, there is a significant mileage gap between the July 2024 test (83,492 miles) and the 2025 test (142,016 miles), representing nearly 60,000 miles driven in a year. This sudden surge often accelerates the wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. The 2022 record at 69,757 miles indicated that the front brake discs were pitted and scored, along with three tyres nearing the legal tread limit, suggesting a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. A buyer should prioritize a thorough underbody inspection to ensure the mentioned general corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis. The exhaust flexi-joint leak identified in the latest test requires immediate attention to prevent further emission issues or potential manifold damage. Given the history of worn suspension bushes and the high mileage driven in the last year, a detailed check of the drivetrain and steering geometry is necessary to determine if the mechanical degradation has accelerated beyond the previous advisories.
