2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · DA09 SSJ

The 2009 Peugeot 207 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no defects recorded across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 28 February 2025 at 78,970 miles passed with no advisories, though an anomalous failed entry on the same date shows no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2024 at 75,408 miles and March 2022 at 67,001 miles also passed cleanly, indicating a consistent maintenance trend with no worsening conditions. The recorded mileage of 78,970 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 4,645 miles per year against the vehicle's 17-year age, confirming light use. The March 2023 entry lists 719,098 miles, a clear data error against the surrounding 67,001 and 75,408 figures, so true accumulation between 2022 and 2024 was a modest 8,407 miles. Such low annual coverage implies the car stood idle for extended periods, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing in suspension bushes and encourages underside corrosion despite clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and hidden rust, as MOT passes with no advisories do not exempt a 17-year-old Peugeot from age-related decay. The tester noted no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet standing vehicles often develop seized handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres unseen in records. Verify the February 2025 failure cause at the DVSA portal, then check brake discs for lip wear and suspension arms for play before purchase.
