2007 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · KB07 AEG

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following a clean pass in the May 2026 test at 49,774 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement after a period of recurring consumable and suspension issues. While the car faced multiple failures between 2022 and 2025, the most recent two years of testing demonstrate that previous defects, specifically regarding tyre degradation and suspension components, have been addressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,620 miles per year. This slow accumulation is evident in the data, with only 12,437 miles covered since the 2016 test. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which explains the recurring tyre issues. The record shows a consistent trend of tyres perishing or cracking due to age rather than tread wear, a common symptom of low-use vehicles where rubber compounds degrade from lack of movement. A buyer must carefully inspect the condition of all rubber components and suspension bushings. The history shows a persistent issue with the offside front anti-roll bar droplink and its associated dust cover, which appeared in tests from 2020 through 2024. Although the May 2024 test recorded a fractured offside front coil spring, the subsequent passes suggest these mechanical repairs were completed. Given the low mileage and age, checking for perished hoses, seals, and tyre sidewall cracking remains a priority. The 2018 failures regarding carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, alongside an insecure CV joint gaiter, indicate past engine management or sealing issues. While these appear resolved, the low annual mileage means the engine may not have been regularly run at optimal temperatures. A physical inspection should verify that the exhaust system is secure and that the CV joints show no signs of grease leakage or play.
