2011 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · LD61 WCN

The 2026‑04‑13 MOT at 93,134 miles recorded a pass, confirming the vehicle was roadworthy at that point. Although the preceding 2026‑04‑11 test at the same mileage failed due to a split near‑side outer drive shaft constant velocity boot and a damaged near‑side door mirror, the subsequent test removed the CV joint defect while retaining only the mirror issue, indicating a partial resolution of the earlier fault. Recurring mirror damage across multiple tests suggests ongoing neglect of cosmetic items, but the mechanical safety outcome improved after the 2026‑04‑11 failure. The recorded mileage of 93,134 miles over roughly fifteen years averages about 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2011 model. Mileage increments show periods of slower use, such as the 7,527‑mile increase from the 2020‑11‑19 test at 60,904 miles to the 2021‑11‑17 test at 68,431 miles, and a sharper rise of 2,538 miles between the 2021‑11‑17 and 2022‑04‑13 tests, suggesting a phase of more intensive driving. The interval from 2025‑04‑14 (89,323 miles) to 2026‑04‑11 (93,134 miles) represents only 3,811 miles in a year, indicating relatively low annual usage in the most recent period. Recurring mechanical observations point to several areas a buyer should scrutinise in person. The repeated failures of the rear suspension arm ball joint, the play noted in the steering rack inner joint, and the split CV joint boot indicate potential wear in suspension bushes, coil springs and drive‑shaft joints. Brake disc wear appears consistently, with multiple entries noting worn, pitted or scored discs, and tyre tread frequently recorded as close to or below the 1.6 mm legal limit, especially on the near‑side front tyre. Exhaust corrosion and insecure mounting have been recorded in 2023, 2020 and 2019, suggesting structural rust that may affect chassis integrity. A thorough in‑person inspection should therefore focus on the condition of suspension components, the integrity of brake discs and pads, the tread depth and wear pattern of all tyres, the security of exhaust mounting and the state of the constant velocity joints, while also checking for any fresh corrosion on structural members.
