2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · DG12 KGE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 108 897 miles, achieving a roadworthy rating despite a single advisory note concerning a nearside front bolt on the subframe brace showing corrosion holes. The maintenance trajectory shows clear improvement: major mechanical failures recorded in 2022‑2024—excessively worn front suspension ball joints, corroded rear coil springs, broken exhaust mounts and brake‑disc wear—have not reappeared in the two subsequent tests, leaving only the minor corrosion advisory. Electrical and lighting faults from 2020 and 2018 have also been rectified, indicating a corrective pattern rather than a deteriorating condition. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with the car’s age. From 2016 (37 917 miles) to the present, the odometer advanced roughly 71 000 miles over fourteen years, averaging about 7 800 miles annually. The MOT entries are spaced regularly, with the last five tests occurring roughly every twelve months and the most recent test just five months ago, confirming that the vehicle has been serviced within the standard annual window. No significant gaps or abrupt mileage jumps are evident, suggesting normal usage rather than prolonged storage or excessive wear. A prospective buyer should inspect the nearside front subframe brace for any corrosion holes or loose bolts, as this is the only unresolved issue from the latest test. The front suspension lower arms and rear coil springs merit close visual and mechanical checks for excessive wear or rust, given the history of ball‑joint wear and coil‑spring corrosion. The exhaust system, particularly the front bracket and mounts, should be examined for fractures, while brake discs and pads need assessment for wear beyond acceptable limits. Tyre tread depth on all four corners is another priority, as multiple entries note wear close to the legal limit. Finally, verify headlamp aim, all lighting functions (registration plate, stop, position, and direction indicators), and brake balance across axles, as these components have been repeatedly flagged in earlier failures.
