2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · CY12 KHO

The Peugeot 207 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 16 February 2026 at 59,322 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle cleared every annual examination from 2024 through 2026 without a single advisory, and the only failures logged were administrative in nature rather than mechanical. Recorded mileage sits at 59,322 miles against a February 2012 build, an average of roughly 4,200 miles per year. The odometer moved just 1,200 miles between the February 2024 test at 56,613 miles and the February 2025 test at 58,122 miles, then only 1,200 miles again to the February 2026 figure. Such low annual use over fourteen years suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing, brake seizing, and underbody corrosion even where the tester raised no flags. The February 2025 and February 2024 entries show failed tests with no defects recorded, indicating documentation or presentation issues at the test centre rather than component faults. A buyer should still treat the clean sheet with caution given the car's age and low use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant a physical inspection for stiffness or binding after long idle spells. Examine the subframe and sills for structural rust, as moisture trapped during storage promotes hidden corrosion the MOT may not capture on a dry-day test. Confirm tyre sidewalls are free from cracking and check that the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load, since infrequent running can foul the catalyst and intake.
