2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · FN60 LVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of recurring structural and suspension issues. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 71,005 miles, it failed just three days prior due to multiple mechanical faults, including a fractured offside front coil spring and an inoperative registration lamp. The persistence of a non-excessive oil leak across several years suggests that the owner addresses faults only when they threaten MOT compliance rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The record shows a gap of nearly 5,500 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 5,400 miles leading up to January 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of standing often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion, which is consistent with the defects found on the sub-frame and anti-roll bars. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame, as it was flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2024. Although it was described as not seriously weakened at the time, structural rust on these models often progresses rapidly once started. The front suspension also requires scrutiny, specifically the coil springs and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which have shown a history of wear and failure. Given the reported oil leak and previously pitted brake discs from 2023, the engine seals and braking system should be checked for signs of active neglect or seized calipers.
