2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · HW60 KXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor wear-related defects. The most recent test in November 2025 at 72,045 miles identified a slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and an under-inflated rear tyre. While these issues did not result in a failure, they indicate that the suspension components are beginning to show signs of age and fatigue after a period of clean records in previous years. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2019 at 65,363 miles and January 2022 at 70,716 miles, where the car covered only about 5,000 miles over two years. This low-frequency use suggests long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and brake fluid, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine surfaces. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front suspension to ensure the ball joint play is replaced promptly, as continued wear can lead to unpredictable steering geometry. The ABS fault recorded in January 2021 was resolved prior to the subsequent pass, but the system should be verified to ensure no intermittent faults remain. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and seized brake lines is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer more from surface-level rust than those driven regularly.
