2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · FG59 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 77,895 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the current or previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 30,000 miles, showing a consistent and moderate usage rate. The single failure in October 2022 at 47,904 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed the retest on the same day. This low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of rubber component degradation and fluid stagnation due to time. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related failure rather than mileage-related wear. The buyer must check for structural corrosion on the rear arches and sills, as these 207 models are susceptible to rust. Given the low usage, the tester should also inspect suspension bushes for cracking and verify that the brake calipers are not seized or binding, which frequently occurs when vehicles sit for long periods between journeys.
