2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · GY10 AEL

The Peugeot 207 cleared its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 101,942 miles after failing the same day on a non-working near-side rear stop lamp and headlight defects, with front brake discs recorded as worn pitted and scored but not seriously weakened. This pattern shows reactive maintenance rather than a stable caring regime, as the owner addressed only the items that caused failure while leaving brake disc wear as an advisory. The trend from earlier tests reveals suspension faults that worsened then were fixed, but new lighting and brake issues emerged. The mileage history supports light use for a sixteen year old hatchback. In the October 2023 test at 92,099 miles the car showed roughly six thousand annual miles. By the September 2024 failure at 96,674 miles it had covered just 4,575 miles in eleven months. The December 2024 pass at 96,675 miles was a one mile retest after repairs. Twelve months later the December 2025 test at 101,942 miles added 5,267 miles. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear, though the sparse advisory record hints at minimal professional inspection between tests. Recurring steering and suspension wear needs physical checks. The 2023 test flagged slight play in the off-side front anti-roll bar linkage and near-side track rod end, then the September 2024 failure cited excessive wear of both front anti-roll bar ball joints and illegal tyre tread on the off-side front. A buyer should lever-test those ball joints, track rod ends and inspect the off-side rear coil spring corrosion first noted in 2023. The gearbox oil leak recorded in 2023 must be verified as sealed. Brake and lighting condition require direct examination. The December 2025 tester noted pitted front brake discs and the car failed on a near-side rear stop lamp plus headlight faults. Check disc runout, caliper slide and all lamp functions. Persistent near-side wing mirror damage from 2023 through 2024 suggests the previous owner skipped minor cosmetic upkeep. Overall the vehicle is roadworthy after recent fixes but carries aged components that demand scrutiny.
