2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Diesel · KR09 UYF

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile due to a significant lapse in recent maintenance and testing. While it passed its final MOT in April 2022 at 109,857 miles, the preceding failure on that same day revealed a state of serious mechanical neglect. The tester identified critical safety defects including a fractured nearside front coil spring, a failing lower suspension arm ball joint, and a split CV boot. Given that no MOT has been recorded for over four years, the vehicle is currently out of test and the mechanical condition has likely deteriorated significantly since the last inspection. The recorded mileage of 109,857 miles over 17 years reflects an annual average of approximately 6,460 miles, which is consistent with typical light use for its age. However, the data shows a notable gap in activity; between May 2021 at 104,945 miles and April 2022 at 109,857 miles, the car covered only 5,000 miles. This low usage, combined with the four-year absence of testing records, increases the risk of degradation in rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion that would not be captured by mileage-based wear alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain, as the history shows a pattern of failure in anti-roll bar linkages and CV joints. The 2022 record also flagged worn front brake discs and a parking brake system with insufficient reserve travel, suggesting the entire braking system requires immediate attention. Particular focus should be paid to the rear wheel bearings which were noted as noisy in 2021, and a comprehensive check must be made of the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust hangers, as corrosion was previously noted on the 207 models.
