2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · DY59 AEX

The Peugeot 207 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 November 2025 at 89,251 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The November 2025 pass came one day after a failure on 19 November 2025 at identical mileage, yet the tester logged no defects on either entry. This pattern repeats the prior year, where a pass on 6 November 2024 at 87,196 miles followed a defect-free failure on 1 November 2024 at 87,151 miles. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass results with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. The odometer shows light use for a 2009 vehicle. From the 2023 test at 85,300 miles through to the 2025 pass at 89,251 miles, the car covered just 3,951 miles across two years, averaging under 2,000 miles annually. Earlier gaps are undocumented, but the sparse record and low totals imply either gentle commuting or extended periods off the road. Standing time at low mileage often hides perished rubber components and seized mechanisms that a short test drive will not always expose. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car's seventeen years. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet age-related degradation of exhaust mounts and subframe integrity remains probable on a Peugeot of this era. Verify the brake discs for lip wear and confirm the tyres are not aged beyond five years even if tread remains legal. The repeated same-day failure then pass cycles with no defects recorded warrant direct enquiry with the seller about the testing garage used. Clean advisories across all entries do not equate to a fault-free vehicle, only that the DVSA record itself carries no outstanding warnings for this 207.
