2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · KM07 KSM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 89,707 miles passed with minor advisories related to lighting and tyre wear on the nearside rear. While the car has passed its latest inspection, the record shows recurring mechanical issues across the last three years, suggesting that components are only addressed when they reach a point of failure or significant advisory. The mileage profile is consistent with a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 12,516 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 13,322 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady usage suggests regular operation, though the low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which is evidenced by the persistent oil leaks noted in the records. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was flagged for play in 2023 and 2024, requiring a check to ensure the replacement was effective and no further wear exists. The rear service brakes have been noted as noisy since early 2024, which often indicates sticking calipers or thinned discs. Furthermore, the non-excessive engine oil leak that has persisted since 2023 warrants an examination to determine the source and ensure it is not worsening into a significant gasket failure.
