2007 Peugeot 407 2.2L Diesel · KP57 VLG

This 2007 Peugeot 407 passed its most recent MOT in January 2026. While it is currently roadworthy, the history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical maintenance and component wear. The vehicle shows a recurring pattern of braking and suspension issues. In early 2025, it failed due to a missing suspension locking bolt and worn discs. By January 2026, the car failed again with a split CV boot, imbalanced rear brakes, worn front tyres, and play in the anti-roll bar linkage. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where components are run to the point of failure rather than being serviced preventatively. The mileage of 148,488 miles is typical for a 19-year-old vehicle. This average usage suggests consistent wear on the drivetrain and chassis, which is reflected in the recent failures of the CV boot and suspension joints. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components, specifically checking for any remaining play in the linkages. Given the history of imbalanced brakes and pitted discs, a full check of the braking system's efficiency and the condition of the pads and discs is essential.
