2008 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · KS57 YYF

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-06 shows a pass but highlights two critical issues: a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot (6.1.7 (g) (i)) and a non-excessive oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)). A separate entry on the same date records a fail for multiple faults, including incorrect headlamp aim, inoperative registration plate lamps, and the same CV boot and oil leak. This inconsistency suggests potential errors in the MOT records or overlapping test dates, but the recurring CV boot defect and oil leak are evident. The CV boot deterioration and oil leak appear in both the 2026 MOT entries, indicating unresolved mechanical concerns. These issues could lead to drivetrain failure if ignored, as a damaged CV boot allows dirt and moisture to enter the joint, accelerating wear. The headlamp aim misalignment in 2026 is a new safety risk, affecting visibility and potentially causing accidents. Recurring issues include tyre wear on the nearside front tyre, noted in 2025 and 2023 MOTs, suggesting alignment or suspension problems. However, the majority of defects are concentrated in 2026, with no significant issues recorded in 2024. This implies a worsening trend in mechanical and safety-related faults, particularly with the drivetrain and lighting systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,945 miles over 18 years equates to ~3,219 miles annually, which is low for its age.
