CP09 ENU MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Peugeot 207 (CP09 ENU) between July 2023 and November 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 18 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise an investigation into the oil leak mentioned in the November 2025 and July 2024 MOT tests; verify if this has been professionally repaired or if it remains a persistent issue. Request full service records to check for the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.36L petrol engine.
Given the corrosion noted on the rear axle and shocker casings in 2023, a thorough underbody inspection is recommended to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis. Negotiate the price based on the potential need for suspension bushings or brake disc replacements, as these were flagged as worn or pitted in previous tests.
The 1360cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, typically falling into a modest tax bracket and a low insurance group. Annual costs are generally kept down by the vehicle's simple mechanical layout.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car due to the recurring oil leak and the history of suspension and brake wear. Expected annual expenditure will include fuel, road tax, insurance, and a budget for addressing the known wear-and-tear items seen in the MOT history.
Carefully inspect the engine bay and undercarriage for active oil leaks, as this was a failure point in 2025 and an advisory in 2024. Test every external light, including the registration plate and position lamps, as these have caused multiple MOT failures on this specific vehicle.
Check the condition of the front brake discs and suspension arm bushes, both of which were recorded as worn or pitted in the 2023 and 2024 tests. Finally, examine the rear axle and shock absorber casings for the corrosion noted in the July 2023 MOT record to see if it has progressed.
This silver 2009 Peugeot 207 has recorded 84,652 miles, which is slightly below the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of lighting faults and a recurring oil leak noted in both 2024 and 2025. Previous records also highlight concerns regarding brake disc wear and corrosion on the rear axle and shocker casings.
The Peugeot 207 has an average MOT pass rate of 70.9%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, suspension arms, and ball joints.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 207
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Column Failure(Serious)
The EPAS column is the single biggest reliability concern on the 207. It can fail without warning, causing sudden heavy steering. Some cars have had multiple column replacements under warranty.
- VTi Timing Chain Stretch (Prince Engine)(Serious)
The 1.4 VTi and 1.6 VTi Prince engines suffer from timing chain stretch and tensioner failure, leading to chain rattle on cold start, rough running and potentially catastrophic engine damage if the chain jumps.
- EGR Valve Sticking (1.6 HDi)(Moderate)
The exhaust gas recirculation valve on the 1.6 HDi diesel can stick open or closed, causing rough idle, poor performance and excessive emissions. Carbon build-up is the main cause.
- DPF Clogging (1.6 HDi Short Trips)(Moderate)
The diesel particulate filter on the 1.6 HDi clogs quickly on short urban journeys, triggering limp mode, excessive fuel consumption and eventually requiring forced regeneration or removal.
