2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · KN10 ESG

The 2024‑12‑30 MOT at 94,141 miles classified the 2010 Peugeot 207 as roadworthy despite an oil leak that was not excessive and a defective front exhaust mounting. The record shows repeated direction‑indicator failures and the same oil‑leak and exhaust‑mounting defects across the last two tests, indicating no clear improvement but also no worsening trend; the vehicle has been retested with the same faults, suggesting ongoing maintenance gaps. At 16 years old, the 94,141‑mile total equates to roughly 5,900 miles per year, a low usage rate for its age. However, the interval from the 2023‑12‑18 test (80,846 miles) to the 2024‑12‑30 test (94,141 miles) added 13,295 miles in a single year, a notable acceleration compared with the more modest gains in earlier periods such as the 2022‑03‑10 to 2023‑12‑18 span of 13,956 miles over nine months. A buyer should therefore examine the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the anti‑roll bar links for play, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, verify the integrity of the exhaust system including mounting brackets and rear strap, and assess the condition of the direction‑indicator wiring and lenses, as repeated colour and functional failures point to persistent electrical or bulb issues. The combination of recurring mechanical defects, structural exhaust failures and moderate mileage suggests the car requires a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that the oil leak source, suspension components and brake systems are sound before purchase.
