2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · GF60 XKS

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2022 at 101,016 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one mile prior. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the car consistently requires major repairs to safety-critical components to pass inspections. Given that the last recorded MOT was over four years ago, the current status of the vehicle is unknown and likely unroadworthy without a fresh, comprehensive inspection. The recorded mileage of 101,016 miles over 15 years reflects an average of approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use urban driving. However, the data shows a significant gap in recent history, with no MOT tests recorded since February 2022. This four-year lapse suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary for long periods or been operated outside of legal testing requirements. Long stationary periods increase the risk of degradation in rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination, which are not fully captured by low mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The January 2022 failure revealed seriously weakened front and rear brake discs along with a worn nearside rear pad, following repeated reports of corrosion and judder in 2020 and 2021. The excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint indicates that the steering geometry may have been compromised. Furthermore, the persistent front oil leak noted in 2022 requires professional investigation to ensure it has not progressed into a significant seal failure. The recurring exhaust mounting issues also suggest the system may be loose or prone to structural fatigue.
