2003 Peugeot 607 2.2L Diesel · GF03 KXM

The 2003 Peugeot 607 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects recorded in the most recent test on 2025-11-28 at 120,562 miles. The single failure in November 2024—at just two miles before its previous pass—was unusual, as it involved no recorded defects, suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a temporary operational issue at the test centre. The vehicle’s consistent pass status since 2022 implies that major mechanical failures have been avoided, though the lack of advisories or defects in any test does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test was conducted just six months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age, though it does not account for any potential issues arising between tests. The recorded mileage of 120,562 miles over 23 years—approximately 5,242 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this vintage, suggesting either light usage, prolonged periods of inactivity, or possible mileage tampering. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (11,099 miles in just over a year) stands out as the most rapid accumulation in the record, which could indicate a period of heavier use or an attempt to reset mileage. Without additional service records, it is impossible to confirm whether this spike aligns with genuine usage patterns or irregularities. The consistency of the remaining intervals—around 4,000 miles per year—further raises questions about the vehicle’s true service history. Given the absence of defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension system—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for deterioration, as these are not covered by MOT checks and may exhibit silent failure over time. Brake components, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation, as this could accelerate wear. Structural integrity, particularly in the floor pans, sills, and wheel arches, should be assessed for corrosion, as the 2003 model year is susceptible to rust progression. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions controls should be inspected for leaks or damage, as these are common failure points in older vehicles.
