2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · CA52 ALS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 at 72,042 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. The record shows a steady increase in advisories related to structural corrosion and braking issues over the last three years, suggesting a decline in proactive upkeep. Low annual mileage of roughly 4,503 miles has kept the odometer low for a 16 year old car. The usage pattern is consistent, with a steady climb from 40,283 miles in September 2019 to 72,042 miles in February 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing, though the low mileage likely contributed to the tyre perishing noted in November 2020 and February 2025, as rubber degrades over time even when not in heavy use. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension. The tester flagged corrosion on the nearside front sub-frame in February 2025 and the rear axle in February 2026. While neither was deemed a failure, these recurring structural warnings indicate a vulnerability to rust that requires professional assessment. The suspension arm ball joint play noted in February 2023 also suggests the undercarriage is aging. The braking system requires immediate attention. The nearside rear service brake has been flagged as binding in three consecutive tests from February 2024 through February 2026. This persistent fault, combined with thin front brake pads recorded in February 2025, indicates a lack of corrective maintenance. A physical check for sticking calipers and worn pads is essential before purchase.
