2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · GY12 TNJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of neglected consumables and recurring minor mechanical faults. The most recent test in June 2025 at 44,193 miles passed, yet flagged multiple advisories regarding all four tyres, a defective exhaust mounting, and a persistent oil leak. While the car continues to pass, the persistence of these issues across several years suggests an owner who only addresses faults when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 44,193 miles over 14 years, the Peugeot shows a significantly low mileage profile of approximately 3,157 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low usage explains the low wear on the drivetrain but also highlights the degradation of rubber components. The repeated reports of cracking and perishing since 2022 indicate the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the tyres to fail due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer must personally inspect the engine bay for the source of the oil leak, which has been noted in every test since 2022. Given the low mileage and age, specific attention should be paid to the perished rubber seals, hoses, and suspension bushings. The recurring defective exhaust mounting requires a physical check to prevent the exhaust system from vibrating or failing in future. Furthermore, as all four tyres were recently near the legal limit or showing signs of dry rot, a full set of replacement tyres is likely imminent to ensure safety.
