2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · CP61 AEK

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile that has transitioned from a period of stability into a more frequent pattern of mechanical advisories and failures. While the most recent test on 8 May 2026 at 131,776 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a worsening trend in component wear compared to the clean results seen between 2017 and 2024. The vehicle is currently carrying recurring advisories that suggest certain mechanical issues are being monitored rather than fully rectified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 15-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,785 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 106,403 miles in August 2023 to 115,430 miles in August 2024, and reaching 131,776 miles by May 2026. This predictable usage pattern indicates the car has not been subject to long periods of stagnation, which helps mitigate some risks associated with seized components, though the increasing frequency of defects suggests the age of the vehicle is beginning to impact its mechanical integrity. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the rear suspension and drivetrain components. The record shows a recurring issue with the offside rear wheel bearing, which was flagged as noisy in both May 2025 and May 2026. The May 2025 failure was significant, involving a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a split offside front CV boot. Although these specific items appear to have been addressed to secure a pass, the history of coil spring corrosion dating back to 2022 suggests that the rear suspension assembly is a high-wear area for this vehicle. Further inspection is required regarding the lighting and electrical systems, as the nearside rear registration plate lamp has been flagged as inoperative in two consecutive tests in 2025 and 2026. The tester also noted a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt during the most recent test, so the belt tensioners and webbing must be checked manually. Given the history of exhaust mounting defects and spring corrosion, a thorough check of the vehicle's underside for structural rust and mounting integrity is advisable.
