2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · KM10 EPL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a persistent neglect of rubber components and minor trim. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 72,275 miles passed, it highlighted an advisory for perishing and cracking across all tyres. This follows a pattern seen in the November 2024 test where multiple tyres were flagged for inner and outer wall damage, suggesting the car likely sits for long periods, leading to material oxidation rather than tread wear. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,275 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 1,400 miles covered between each November test from 2022 to 2025. This low-intensity use typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it directly explains the degradation of rubber-based parts like tyres and exhaust hangers, which fail due to age and exposure to the elements rather than distance-travel despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system and all rubber mounting points. The offside rear exhaust silencer was flagged as slightly loose in four consecutive tests between 2022 and 2024, indicating a failure by previous owners to address the root cause, likely perished hangers or corroded brackets. Furthermore, given the recurring tyre perishing issues, the buyer should check for deep cracks in the tyre sidewalls and suspension bushings, as aged rubber is prone to sudden failure despite having sufficient tread depth.
