2008 Peugeot 4007 2.2L Diesel · KO08 XHP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 147,552 miles passed despite advisories for a worn offside front anti-roll bar ball joint and persistent corrosion on the inner suspension mounting areas. While the car has consistently passed annually, the recurring nature of suspension and tyre faults across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure or trigger an MOT advisory. The recorded mileage of 147,552 miles over 18 years averages to approximately 8,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 8,000 to 8,500 miles driven between each annual inspection from 2022 to 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the high total mileage naturally contributes to the accelerated wear of rubber-based components and braking hardware noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically targeting the corrosion on the inner suspension mounting areas which has appeared in 2024 and 2025. While the tester deemed this non-excessive, rust on structural sills and mounting points progresses rapidly on older Peugeot models. The 2023 failure highlights a period of significant neglect, involving a leaking front brake hose and a serious shock absorber leak, so the buyer should check for current signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components throughout. Attention is also required for the braking system and steering geometry. The 2024 test flagged pitted and scored front discs following a binding rear brake issue in 2022. Given the frequent reports of tyres reaching legal limits or showing exposed cords, the buyer should verify the current tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres. The fact that the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint returned with play in the latest test indicates that the front suspension is likely to require replacement soon to maintain vehicle stability and safety.
