2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · GD11 BYW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of developing mechanical wear as the car ages. The most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 54,146 miles identified a defective front exhaust mounting and a worn nearside front MacPherson strut pin or bush. While these issues did not result in a failure, they indicate that rubber components are beginning to degrade from age rather than mileage, following a clean record in July 2024. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 2,647 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept stationary frequently, though long periods of standing can often lead to the drying of rubber seals and the seizing of moving parts, which aligns with the bushing wear noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and exhaust system, as the tester has already flagged issues with the strut bushes and mounting hardware. The noisy offside rear wheel bearing noted in 2023 at 49,887 miles should be re-checked to ensure it was replaced. Given the history of a worn front tyre in 2021 and a worn drive belt in 2022, a thorough check of tyre alignment and belt condition is necessary to confirm that the low mileage usage has not masked neglected preventative maintenance.
