2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · KW10 MVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 83,722 miles identified play in the nearside front drag link and legal-limit wear on both rear tyres. While the car passed this inspection, the failure in 2024 due to missing wheel fixings and defective headlamps suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or safety risk. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,722 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,233 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 17,540 miles, confirming a consistent low-use pattern. However, the lack of frequent driving does not protect against age-related wear which continues to manifest despite the low total distance driven. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension, as the record shows a recurring trend of ball joint failures including anti-roll bar joints, track rod ends, and drag links. The persistent non-excessive oil leak noted in both 2022 and 2023 requires a physical inspection to ensure it has not developed into a more significant seal failure. Additionally, the pitted brake discs recorded in 2022 indicate the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to corrosion on the braking surfaces which should be checked for current condition and thickness.
