2008 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · CP08 JWC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of reactive repairs. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 108,962 miles passed despite a recurring oil leak, a fault that has appeared in every recorded test since 2022. While the August 2024 failure due to electrical lighting issues and suspension wear was rectified, the subsequent pass suggests the owner addresses faults only when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 98,960 miles and August 2025 at 108,962 miles, the car covered 10,000 miles in nearly two years. This indicates a recent increase in usage compared to the historical average, which explains the accelerated wear on components like the front brake discs and anti-roll bar linkages noted in 2024 records. A buyer must physically inspect the engine bay for the source of the persistent oil leak, as its continued presence over three years suggests a degrading gasket or seal that may eventually become catastrophic. The recurring history of low coolant levels in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicates a slow system leak or head pump failure that requires a pressure test. Given the previous failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and the wear on brake discs, the entire front suspension assembly should be checked for play in the bushings to ensure no other components are nearing failure.
