2006 Peugeot 807 2.0L Diesel · DV06 WVG

The vehicle shows a concerning trend of structural degradation and mechanical neglect despite passing several MOT tests. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 229,803 miles, the car failed just days prior due to the offside front suspension mounting area being excessively corroded and a fractured coil spring. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 and 2023 where structural sills and suspension mounts were repeatedly flagged for significant corrosion. The rear parking brake efficiency has consistently struggled, frequently failing the test or barely meeting the legal threshold, suggesting the braking system is being maintained with a reactive rather than proactive approach. At 229,803 miles over twenty years, the Peugeot has averaged roughly 11,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical road usage for its age. However, the service history reveals a failure to address basic maintenance items promptly. Between December 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles but suffered multiple failures for inoperative bulbs, worn tyres, and failing suspension components. The recurring presence of tyres worn on the edges or near the limit indicates potential alignment issues or simply a lack of routine consumable checks. The structural integrity of the vehicle is the primary concern for any buyer. The record documents a history of corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points that has progressed to significantly reducing structural strength. While some areas were noted as not yet affecting overall rigidity in 2022, the 2026 failure confirms that the corrosion has reached a critical stage. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically looking for deep rust in the sills and mounting points, as the data suggests the vehicle is nearing the end of its viable structural life.
