2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · LR10 XOX

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state following a significant failure on 12 June 2026 at 161,458 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the most recent test revealed eleven separate defects compared to previous years. While the car passed its test in June 2025, the subsequent failure shows a breakdown in basic upkeep regarding steering components, exhaust integrity, and engine management, suggesting a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance by the current owner. The recorded mileage of 161,458 miles over 16 years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which is typical for a domestic vehicle of this age. The data shows steady accumulation between tests, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 6,700 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This regular mileage explains the progressive wear observed on consumable items and rubber components across the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain assembly. The record flagged a failing offside front track rod end ball joint and a split CV boot in 2026, following previous issues with anti-roll bar linkages and steering rack gaiters. Furthermore, the persistent presence of corroded rear coil springs noted in 2024 and a rough offside rear wheel bearing indicates that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its service life. The engine and braking systems also require close attention due to recurring injector chuffing noted in both 2025 and 2026, alongside a newly identified oil leak. The braking system has shown a history of pitted and scored discs over the last three years, and the 2024 failure for insufficient brake lever travel suggests the hydraulic system may be worn. Given the repeated reports of perishing and worn tyres across multiple tests, the overall condition of the rubber components should be validated before any purchase.
