2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · FJ61 RXP

The Peugeot 207 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 78,291 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 11 November 2024 at 77,011 miles and again on 15 January 2024 at 75,819 miles, following two same-day administrative failures on those dates where the tester logged no defects. The absence of any recorded advisories or mechanical faults across the last three years indicates consistent compliance rather than a worsening condition. At roughly 14 years old the car shows 78,291 miles, an average of about 5,592 miles per year. This is low for its age and points to light use or extended standing periods. The mileage moved only 1,192 miles between January 2024 and November 2024, then 1,280 miles to November 2025. Such low accumulation reduces expected wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, though long idle spells can allow corrosion or seized components to develop unseen. The DVSA record carries no flagged items on suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A buyer should still verify in person that the low mileage has not masked perished rubber mounts, flat-spotted tyres from storage, or surface rust on sills and subframes. The two failed entries on 11 November 2024 and 15 January 2024 with zero defects suggest clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect. Given the clean advisory history and minimal annual use, the vehicle looks mechanically sound on paper. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm brake caliper freedom after standing, check for damp or degraded wiring looms, and scrutinise underbody condition where MOT data cannot reach.
