FV09 FRP MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Peugeot 207 (FV09 FRP) between February 2024 and January 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 26 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 ”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.

Our Verdict
A fair example of a Peugeot 207 that ser
Focus your negotiation on the tyres; the January 2026 MOT specifically flagged the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside front as damaged or perishing, meaning a significant spend on rubber is imminent. You should also verify if the 'not excessive' oil leak recorded in February 2024 was ever permanently rectified or if it remains a recurring issue.
Check the service records for evidence of suspension work. Given that this vehicle has suffered fractured coil springs on both the nearside front (2024) and offside rear (2025), it is important to ensure the remaining suspension components are in good order. Ensure all previous MOT failure repairs are documented with invoices.
The 1360cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, though fuel economy will be typical for a vehicle of this era. Insurance groups for the Peugeot 207 are generally low, making it an affordable choice for younger drivers or those seeking a low-cost commuter.
Maintenance costs are expected to be moderate, although the MOT history suggests a susceptibility to suspension and brake wear. Between fuel, road tax, insurance, and the likely need for tyre replacements and routine servicing, the annual cost is manageable for a budget vehicle.
The primary area for inspection is the tyres; the 2026 MOT advisories clearly state that three tyres are perishing or cracking. Check the sidewalls for visible cracks and ensure they are replaced before significant use. Additionally, inspect the CV boots and brake discs, as these were points of failure in 2024 and 2025.
While aggregate data for the Peugeot 207 suggests headlamps and ball joints are common failure points across 190,427 analysed vehicles, this specific car's history shows a stronger trend of coil spring failure. Listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension during a test drive to ensure no further springs have fatigued.
This black 2009 Peugeot 207 has recorded 86,665 miles, which is consistent with the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, specifically involving fractured coil springs, worn brake discs, and a split CV boot. The most recent test in January 2026 passed, but highlighted that three tyres are cracking or perishing.
The Peugeot 207 has an average MOT pass rate of 70.9%, with frequent failures noted for headlamps and suspension arms.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 207
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Column Failure(Serious)
The EPAS column is the single biggest reliability concern on the 207. It can fail without warning, causing sudden heavy steering. Some cars have had multiple column replacements under warranty.
- VTi Timing Chain Stretch (Prince Engine)(Serious)
The 1.4 VTi and 1.6 VTi Prince engines suffer from timing chain stretch and tensioner failure, leading to chain rattle on cold start, rough running and potentially catastrophic engine damage if the chain jumps.
- EGR Valve Sticking (1.6 HDi)(Moderate)
The exhaust gas recirculation valve on the 1.6 HDi diesel can stick open or closed, causing rough idle, poor performance and excessive emissions. Carbon build-up is the main cause.
- DPF Clogging (1.6 HDi Short Trips)(Moderate)
The diesel particulate filter on the 1.6 HDi clogs quickly on short urban journeys, triggering limp mode, excessive fuel consumption and eventually requiring forced regeneration or removal.
