2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · EO59 LCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 64,531 miles resulted in a pass despite testers noting various underbody corrosion. While the car has consistently passed its tests following initial failures, the history reveals recurring issues with minor mechanical and lighting components, suggesting that faults are often only addressed once they reach an MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the progression from 28,340 miles in August 2017 to 64,531 miles in late 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between periods of use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which is consistent with the failures of anti-roll bar linkages and CV boots seen throughout the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry,, as the anti-roll bar linkage proved to be a recurring point of failure, flagged in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024. The underbody corrosion noted in the 2025 test represents a significant concern for a Peugeot of this age and requires a close physical inspection of the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points. Additionally, the oil leak recorded in 2023 at 52,816 miles should be verified to ensure it has not escalated into a more significant leak since the last inspection.
