2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · FL11 YBD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 46,686 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. This failure highlighted multiple critical issues, including a fractured coil spring, a split CV boot, and a malfunctioning Malfunction Indicator Lamp. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative checks between tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,112 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, there is a notable four-year gap between the October 2021 and September 2025 tests, during which the car covered only 1,629 miles. This period of infrequent use explains the recurring issues with rubber-based components. The records from both 2021 and 2025 consistently flag tyre perishing and cracking, which are direct consequences of age and vehicle stagnation rather than distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain components. The history shows repeated failures of CV boots and ball joint dust covers, indicating that the rubber seals are prone to drying and cracking due to age. The fractured coil spring noted in 2025 necessitates a check of the remaining suspension springs for signs of fatigue or stress corrosion. Furthermore, the recurring failure of the engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp in 2021 and 2025 requires a diagnostic scan to ensure there are no hidden electronic faults that have been simply cleared or ignored to pass the test.
