2006 Peugeot 1007 1.4L Diesel · DY06 AEC

This 2006 Peugeot 1007 presents a largely clean maintenance trend that culminated in a pass on September 1 2023 at 46,606 miles with zero defects recorded. The recent testing trajectory indicates stable roadworthiness over the last three annual examinations, matching clean passes in September 2022 at 45,422 miles and August 2021 at 43,029 miles. However, the absence of a test record between September 2023 and the current July 2026 date means the vehicle has gone nearly three years without a documented MOT assessment, representing a significant gap in its compliance history that requires immediate verification. Low annual mileage defines the vehicle life, accumulating just 46,606 miles across two decades of use, which averages out to roughly 2,330 miles per year. This gentle usage pattern shows periods of very low utilisation, such as the interval between February 2018 and August 2018 when only 101 miles were added. Minimal mileage protects the drivetrain from heavy wear, but prolonged periods of light use or standing can cause rubber perishing, seized brake components, and battery degradation if maintenance is neglected. Inspecting the vehicle in person requires close attention to recurring mechanical items and age-related wear flagged in earlier test records. The September 2020 test noted severe corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs alongside an advisory for a fuel injector starting to blow, meaning the rear suspension and engine bay sealing warrant thorough scrutiny for ongoing decay. Rubber degradation also surfaced previously, notably with a perishing offside rear tyre in 2020 and worn inner edges on the front tyres in 2016, making a comprehensive check of tyre sidewalls and brake line flexibility essential before road use.
