2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · FN60 NXK

The maintenance trend appears stable but highly irregular, with the most recent test occurring on 19 April 2023 at 71,890 miles. This MOT passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. However, the vehicle currently sits without a valid MOT certificate, as the last test expired over two years ago in April 2024. The recorded mileage has not advanced since that April 2023 test, indicating the Peugeot has likely stood stationary for a prolonged period. At sixteen years old with 71,890 miles recorded, the annual average sits at roughly 4,493 miles, which is exceptionally low. The MOT history reveals a peculiar mileage trajectory. Between the 12 May 2022 failure and the 23 June 2022 pass, the odometer advanced by just 24 miles. A further 65 miles appeared between June 2022 and January 2023, followed by a 460-mile jump to the April 2023 reading. This stagnation, culminating in zero mileage progression since April 2023, suggests the vehicle has endured extended periods of inactivity rather than consistent daily use. The 12 May 2022 test resulted in a failure, yet the record lists no defects. This anomaly typically indicates an aborted test, possibly due to a severe mechanical seizure, a major fluid leak preventing a safe inspection, or a VIN discrepancy. The subsequent pass on 23 June 2022 with only 24 additional miles implies the fault was rectified without the car being driven, or the issue was administrative rather than mechanical. A buyer must treat this gap in the record with caution. A pre-purchase inspection must focus on the deterioration caused by prolonged stationary periods. Seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and degraded tyres are common afflictions on vehicles that stand still. The fuel system requires checking for stale petrol, and the engine oil should be inspected for moisture contamination. Given the three-year absence from the testing regime, a full structural inspection for corrosion is essential, as standing vehicles often suffer from localized rust on the underbody and suspension mounting points.
