2007 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · EY07 TFO

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to a lack of MOT testing for over four years. The last recorded test in March 2022 at 135,660 miles resulted in a failure due to significant emission issues, including high hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and lambda readings. Since no tests have followed this entry, the maintenance trend has shifted from reactive to a state of total neglect, leaving the current condition of the engine management system and safety-critical components entirely unknown. The vehicle shows a consistent history of low usage, averaging approximately 7,140 miles per year over its 19-year life. However, there is a massive gap in data between March 2021 at 71,399 miles and March 2022 at 135,660 miles. This jump of over 64,000 miles in a single year represents a period of extreme high-intensity use that contradicts the previous annual pattern. Such a rapid accumulation of mileage likely explains the mechanical degradation and emission failures observed in the final recorded test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the history shows recurring issues in these areas. The record repeatedly flags perishing tyres and pitted rear brake discs between 2018 and 2020. Additionally, the 2020 advisory noted inner edge wear on the offside front tyre, suggesting a persistent alignment or suspension geometry fault. The previous 2016 failure for missing wheel bolts and a broken coil spring further indicates a history where basic safety checks were occasionally overlooked. The emission failure in 2022 suggests a deep-seated engine issue or a failing oxygen sensor and catalytic converter that requires expensive repair. Given the car has not been tested since that failure, there is a high risk of further mechanical deterioration or structural corrosion developing during the long period of inactivity. Specifically check for rust on the sills and arches, as the age of the Peugeot 207 makes it highly likely that structural integrity has been compromised after two decades of high-mileage use.
