2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · LC10 EOU

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of deteriorating maintenance following several years of stability. While the most recent MOT test in February 2024 at 74,912 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just five days prior that revealed multiple mechanical defects. The history indicates a shift from a clean record to a period of recurring failures involving suspension, braking, and exhaust components, suggesting the vehicle is now subject to reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The recorded mileage of 74,912 miles is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows a period of consistent use between 2013 and 2020, where the car passed annually with no defects. However, the usage increased significantly between 2021 and 2024, with the car covering nearly 20,000 miles in just three years. This burst of activity, combined with previous gaps, suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which likely contributed to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion noted in later tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows repeated issues with worn suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and anti-roll bar linkages across 2023 and 2024. The front brake discs were flagged multiple times for being worn, pitted, or significantly degraded, indicating the braking system has been neglected. Additionally, the 2021 test highlighted corrosion on the subframes and suspension, while the 2023 failure revealed a fractured rear coil spring and structural rust. Close attention should be paid to the exhaust system to ensure the previous major leaks and emissions failures have been permanently rectified.
