2006 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · DS06 HRO

The 2025‑11‑04 MOT at 104,056 miles passed, confirming that the vehicle meets the minimum roadworthiness standards, but the record reveals a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor deteriorating dramatically; recurring minor defects such as brake hose corrosion, tyre perishing and persistent oil leaks appear across multiple years. At roughly 5,200 miles per year the mileage is low for a 20‑year‑old car, suggesting periods of limited use or long idle intervals; the gap between the 2022‑11‑01 test (100,842 miles) and the 2023‑10‑31 test (101,824 miles) shows only 982 miles accrued in a year, while the intervals from 2023‑11‑02 to 2024‑10‑28 and from 2024‑10‑28 to 2025‑11‑04 each add just over 1,000 miles, indicating a steady but modest mileage increase. A buyer should therefore focus on the brake system, examining rear brake hoses for the documented corrosion at the ferrule, checking the near‑side rear service brake for binding, and inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the history. Additional inspection points include the structural integrity of the rear integral body panels and central sub‑frame where corrosion was noted, the condition of the rear exhaust mounting and near‑side rear tyre, the alignment of the headlamps, and the source of the ongoing oil leak, all of which can reveal whether previous owners addressed the recurring faults or allowed them to persist.
