2008 Peugeot 4007 2.2L Diesel · LN08 OBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2025 at 64,005 miles identified multiple defects related to age-related degradation, specifically regarding brake surfaces and tyre condition. While the vehicle passed, the presence of pitted and scored discs on all four wheels alongside perished tyres indicates that the components are suffering from environmental exposure and long periods of inactivity rather than high mechanical wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a significant six-year gap between the September 2019 test at 63,474 miles and the 2025 test at 64,005 miles, during which the car covered only 531 miles. This sparse usage explains the rapid deterioration of rubber components like tyres and seat belts, alongside corrosion on metal surfaces, as these materials dry and oxidize over time irrespective of the distance driven. A prospective buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the history shows thin pads in 2019 followed by heavily scored discs in 2025. The track rod end noted in 2019 should be re-checked for play to ensure no further suspension issues developed during stationary periods. Furthermore, given the perishing state of the tyres and the damaged seat belt webbing, a physical inspection of all rubber seals, including door membranes and artwork blades, is necessary to identify hidden leaks caused by age-related cracking.
