2005 Peugeot 407 2.0L Petrol · CA05 AFJ

The vehicle achieved a PASS on 19 April 2022 at 116,942 miles, confirming roadworthiness at that point. The preceding failure on 14 April 2022 at the same mileage indicates a minor issue that was rectified on re‑test, suggesting the maintenance trend is stable to improving rather than deteriorating. Mileage data shows only two MOT entries, both recorded at 116,942 miles, with no subsequent mileage increase logged over the ensuing four‑year period. This results in an average of roughly 5,600 miles per year, which is low for a 21‑year‑old model and points to light use or extended periods of inactivity. The absence of any MOT tests after April 2022 raises questions about ongoing compliance and may mask developing wear. With no specific defects noted, a buyer should inspect consumables and wear items directly: examine brake discs, pads and calipers for binding or uneven wear; check suspension bushes, coil springs and trailing arms for corrosion or excessive play; assess tyre tread depth and pressure across all four wheels; inspect the exhaust system for rust or leaks; and look for signs of structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels. Verify service records to confirm whether the April 2022 failure was addressed and whether routine maintenance has been performed. A thorough visual and mechanical check will reveal any latent issues not captured in the sparse MOT history.
