2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · HW10 ADZ

The Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 39,639 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three years is stable with no mechanical or structural advisories raised. The only blemish is administrative rather than mechanical: the car failed on 18 June 2025 and again on 19 June 2024 at identical mileages of 39,639 and 37,980 respectively, with no defects listed on either occasion. Such back-to-back failures with zero recorded faults point to paperwork, lighting, or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening condition on the vehicle itself. At sixteen years old the car shows 39,639 miles on the clock, an average of roughly 2,477 miles per year. The record confirms light use: it covered only 1,659 miles between the June 2023 test at 36,187 miles and June 2024 at 37,980, then just 1,659 miles again to June 2025. No gaps exist in the annual testing, and the clean pass history with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory upkeep current despite the low annual distance. A buyer should still view the low mileage with caution. Vehicles left standing for long periods often develop perished rubber components, seized calipers, and moisture-driven corrosion that a pass with no advisories will not reveal until parts are stressed. The twin zero-defect failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason codes, as a repeated non-mechanical rejection can mask an unresolved minor presentation fault. In person, inspect the front coil springs and rear beam axle for structural rust, confirm the brake calipers are not binding after a short road test, and verify the tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age rather than wear. The DVSA data alone shows a sound, lightly used car, but the record cannot substitute for a physical check of consumables and hidden corrosion on a 2010 chassis.
