2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · KX09 WYC

This 2009 Peugeot 207 shows a stable but unusually erratic maintenance pattern, with the most recent MOT test occurring just over a year ago on 2025-06-24. The vehicle passed the test despite a duplicate entry—one marked as failed and the other as passed—both at the same mileage of 63,407 miles, which suggests either a clerical error or a temporary administrative oversight rather than a genuine mechanical issue. No defects were recorded across any of the five MOT tests from 2022 to 2025, indicating the vehicle has not encountered repeated or severe faults during official inspections. However, the lack of advisories or minor failings in the record means no red flags were raised for critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers during those tests. The recorded mileage of 63,407 miles over 17 years—approximately 3,730 miles annually—is significantly lower than average for a vehicle of this age, which typically accumulates closer to 10,000–12,000 miles per year. This suggests the car has either been used sparingly or stood idle for extended periods. The mileage remained nearly static between the 2022 and 2023 tests, with just 200 miles logged over a year, and similarly minimal progression between 2023 and 2024. While low mileage can imply less wear on high-stress components like brakes or suspension, it also raises questions about fluid changes—brake fluid, power steering, and engine oil—all of which degrade over time regardless of usage. The absence of any MOT advisories for fluid leaks or corrosion further complicates assessment, as these issues often go unnoticed until they become critical. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, despite no recorded failures, should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods, as this can lead to corrosion or seized components. Tyre condition, though not flagged in MOTs, warrants immediate attention—failing twice on tread depth in prior tests would have been expected if this were the case, so a thorough check of tread depth and sidewall integrity is essential. Finally, the vehicle’s underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe, as this is a common issue for Peugeot models of this era and can compromise structural integrity.
