2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · BD60 XCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test in June 2025 at 85,892 miles, the pass followed a significant failure involving critical steering and drivetrain components. The trend shows a pattern of allowing components to deteriorate until they reach a failure threshold, evidenced by the emergence of an advisory on the nearside front suspension arm ball joint immediately following previous repairs. This suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure notice. At a recorded mileage of 85,892 miles, the car has covered relatively ground over its sixteen-year life, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with 8,095 miles driven between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber degradation and dry seals, which is reflected in the inspection history. The recurring presence of split CV boots and worn ball joints indicates that components are failing due to time despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry and steering assembly. The history has flagged multiple issues with track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and ball joints over the last two years, indicating the front-end assembly is nearing the end of its service life. The offside front wheel bearing noted in 2024 should be checked for residual noise or play to ensure the replacement was thorough. Additionally, the consistent report of tyres wearing on the outer edges across three separate tests suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that requires professional rectification to prevent premature tyre failure.
