2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · CV61 HNE

The Peugeot 207 currently holds a failed MOT status from the 3 November 2025 test at 94,723 miles, where the tester logged a failure with no defects recorded, an administrative or presentation anomaly that demands clarification. The maintenance trend is unstable. The vehicle failed twice in late 2023 and early 2025 before passing days later, then failed again in late 2025. Such repeated failures with no listed defects point to either data recording gaps or unresolved presentation issues at test centres rather than a clean mechanical profile. Recorded mileage rose from 77,899 in the 31 August 2023 failure to 77,967 at the 5 September 2023 pass, then jumped to 89,574 by the 2 January 2025 failure and 89,578 at the 7 January 2025 pass. By the 3 November 2025 failure it reached 94,723. That is roughly 6,315 miles per year against its 2011 build, typical for age. The 16-month gap between the September 2023 and January 2025 tests shows no intermediate record, leaving the consumable wear path unobserved through that period. Because the DVSA entries show no advisories or defects, the buyer cannot rely on the record to clear suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. The two 2023 failures and two later failures with blank defect fields suggest the car may have been presented with faults corrected off-record between attempts. A previous owner willing to let a test lapse to failure twice indicates basic upkeep was not prioritised. A physical inspection must confirm structural integrity, brake caliper operation, exhaust emissions, and underbody rust. The 94,723-mile 15-year-old hatchback needs suspension articulation checks and a full diagnostic read of why November 2025 failed with no defect logged.
