2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · BN10 MSO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test in November 2022 at 105,477 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure on that same day. While the immediate trend appears stable after the necessary repairs, the recurring nature of suspension and lighting failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative inspections between service intervals. At 105,477 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for its age. There is a significant gap in the data, with the last recorded test occurring in November 2022. Given the current date of July 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly four years without an official roadworthiness check. This extended period without monitoring increases the risk of undetected mechanical wear, particularly regarding corrosion on the chassis and brake lines, or the degradation of rubber components that age over time despite low annual mileage. A buyer must focus their inspection on the front suspension geometry due to repeated failures in this area. The record shows a fractured nearside coil spring and a worn track rod end in 2021, followed by an offside front suspension arm ball joint likely to detach in late 2022. These faults indicate that the front end components are reaching the end of their service life. You should also inspect the offside CV boot, which was flagged in both 2021 and 2022 for leaking and splitting, to ensure the drive shaft has not suffered internal damage which would lead to a much costly replacement. The failure for the anti-lock braking system being obviously removed in October 2021 is a critical red flag that requires physical verification. While the car passed the subsequent test, the removal of a safety-critical electronic component suggests potential previous tampering or substandard repairs. Combined with the four-year gap since the last MOT, a thorough check of the brake lines, fluid condition, and structural integrity of the subframes is essential to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated while stationary or unmonitored.
