2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · CV12 EWJ

The Peugeot 207 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 14 April 2025 at 109,875 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history reveals a peculiar pattern of immediate pass-after-fail cycles. The vehicle passed cleanly on 24 March 2023 at 95,193 miles, then failed on 9 April 2024 at 103,684 miles before passing three days later at 103,713 miles, and again failed on 11 April 2025 at 109,875 miles before passing on 14 April 2025 at the same mileage. No advisories or defects were logged on any occasion, which suggests the failures stemmed from administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 109,875 at the latest test equates to roughly 7,848 miles per year across the vehicle's 14-year life, a typical usage rate for a supermini of this age. The gap between the March 2023 test and April 2024 test shows 8,520 miles added in thirteen months, with a further 6,162 miles by April 2025. The data is sparse, covering only three annual cycles, but shows no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing that would raise concern over drivetrain or suspension fatigue. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the unexplained fail-pass sequence at the last two tests. The absence of recorded advisories on a 2012 vehicle approaching 110,000 miles is unusual and may indicate the tester did not log minor corrosion or worn consumables. Examine the exhaust system and subframe for structural rust, and verify the owner addressed whatever caused the two recent failures before sale.
