AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2012 Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 3 September 2024 at 95,567 miles with only a worn offside rear tyre advisory, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. The history shows no failures across five consecutive tests from March 2021 to September 2024, with faults limited to minor consumable wear and light corrosion. Prior owners kept the car legally compliant, though the repeated tyre edge wear hints at deferred basic upkeep on rear rubber. The odometer climbed from 76,242 miles in March 2021 to 95,567 miles by September 2024, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year against a 14-year life of 6,826 miles per annum. The record shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps; the longest interval was the six-month slippage between the March 2021 and October 2021 tests, which still fell within legal limits. Mileage is typical for age and suggests steady, moderate use rather than neglect through standing or hard driving. Recurring rear tyre edge wear appeared in the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 tests, always on the offside and sometimes nearside. This pattern points to worn rear suspension bushes or misaligned geometry allowing scrub on the tyre shoulder. A buyer should measure rear toe and camber and inspect the trailing arm bushes for play before purchase. The March 2021 test flagged corroded nearside and offside rear coil springs, and the October 2021 test noted a defective offside rear exhaust mounting. Neither recurred in later records, implying repair or acceptable stabilisation. Inspect the rear spring seats and exhaust hangers in person for fresh corrosion or fatigue, as Peugeot 207 rear suspension mounts are prone to structural rust in older units.

Our Verdict

This 2012 Peugeot 207 offers decent value for money but requires careful inspection due to recurring tyre wear and corrosion issues. A thorough check of suspension components and tyres is essential before purchase.

Prioritise checking the rear tyres for uneven wear and ensure they’ve been replaced recently. Inspect the exhaust mounting bracket for damage and verify if the corroded coil springs were repaired. Review service records for any suspension work. Negotiate the price to account for recurring tyre maintenance and potential rust-related repairs. Be wary of hidden costs from repeated MOT failures.

The 1.36L petrol engine offers average fuel economy of 40-45 mpg, placing it in a low tax band (£145 annual road tax for 2024/25). Insurance groups for 2012 small cars typically range from 15-20, with premiums around £600-£800 annually. Routine maintenance costs are moderate, but repeated tyre replacements and suspension repairs could add £300-£500 yearly. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.

Focus on the rear tyres for uneven wear patterns and check for recent replacements. Examine the exhaust system for cracks or loose mounting brackets. Inspect the rear suspension for rust corrosion, particularly around the coil springs. Check underbody panels for further signs of corrosion. Verify that all MOT failures have been addressed with proper repairs and documentation.

The 2012 Peugeot 207 has a clean MOT history overall, though repeated tyre wear warnings (5.2.3(e)) and a corroded rear coil spring (5.3.1(b)(i)) indicate potential maintenance concerns. At 95,567 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 14-year-old vehicle, but the car remains roadworthy with proper servicing. No aggregate reliability data is available for the 207 model.

No aggregate reliability data available for the Peugeot 207 model. Individual vehicle performance depends heavily on maintenance history and usage patterns.
