2007 Peugeot 407 2.0L Diesel · LD07 YLP

This Peugeot 407 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 6 August 2025 at 131,562 miles confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failings across all tests suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the lack of recorded faults does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The tester’s silence on emissions, structural integrity, or corrosion implies no immediate red flags, but the vehicle’s age (nearly 19 years) means critical components may now require closer scrutiny. The mileage progression of approximately 9,600 miles annually—ranging from 8,600 to 10,000 between tests—indicates steady use without prolonged neglect. There are no gaps exceeding 18 months, and the incremental increase aligns with typical long-term ownership patterns. While this suggests the vehicle hasn’t been left unused or subjected to extreme wear, the cumulative mileage demands thorough inspection of consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades, which may now require replacement despite passing MOTs. A buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of the suspension geometry, checking for worn or leaking dampers and degraded bushes, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers, warrant inspection for binding or excessive wear, even if the MOT did not flag them. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be assessed, as this is often overlooked in older models. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential.
