2011 Peugeot 207 1.4L Diesel · FH11 AUR

The 2011 Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-18 at 84,620 miles, though the maintenance trend reveals a recent decline in attentiveness. The vehicle failed its initial attempt on the same day at 84,619 miles due to an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and inoperative rear direction indicators. While these faults were rectified for the pass, the tester flagged a corroded rear coil spring and three tyres worn to the legal limit. Neglecting three tyres simultaneously suggests basic upkeep was skipped recently, contrasting with what appears to be a generally stable mechanical history prior to 2026. Covering roughly 5,641 miles annually over its 15-year lifespan, this example has covered low mileage, which typically preserves drivetrain components but raises questions about long periods of inactivity. The MOT records show a consistent testing pattern year-on-year, with mileage accumulating steadily from 75,942 miles in June 2024 to 80,786 miles in June 2025, and reaching 84,620 miles in June 2026. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than prolonged standing, though the low annual distance requires careful inspection of consumables and seals that degrade through disuse rather than wear. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension closely. The recurring advisory for a corroded rear coil spring, noted in the June 2026 test, points to active structural corrosion that compromises suspension integrity and requires immediate attention if the corrosion has penetrated the metal deeply. The history also reveals an offside outer CV joint leak flagged in June 2025, a fault that can lead to joint failure if grease depletion and dirt ingress have occurred. Exhaust issues appear stable, with a minor leak persisting across the 2024 and 2025 tests, but the corroded coil spring and worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint demand a thorough physical underbody inspection to assess the extent of rust and component fatigue.
