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

The Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 9 December 2024 at 85,624 miles, leaving it roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend across the recorded history. The December 2024 test raised only minor advisories: both rear direction indicators slightly discoloured, offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge, and front sub-frame corrosion not yet serious. Prior tests from 2020 through 2023 recorded no escalating defects, so the vehicle shows consistent upkeep rather than neglect. Annual mileage averages around 6,116 against the 14-year age, a typical figure for this class. The records show steady annual increments: 70,500 miles in December 2020, 74,671 in December 2021, 78,293 in November 2022, 81,959 in November 2023, and 85,624 in December 2024. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean pass sheets between 2021 and 2023 confirm the earlier 2020 advisories on anti-roll bar ball joints and brake discs did not develop into failures. A buyer should physically inspect the front sub-frame corrosion flagged in December 2024, as surface corrosion noted in 2020 on the underbody and suspension may have progressed to the structural member. The offside rear tyre edge wear suggests alignment or suspension bush wear; check all four corners for uneven tread. Rear indicator discolouration is a cheap fix but confirms light cosmetic neglect. The 2020 oil leak, described as not excessive, has not recurred in later tests, implying it was monitored or resolved. Given the age, examine the anti-roll bar ball joints and brake discs for play and wear not captured since 2020. Overall the mechanical record supports a sound used purchase pending a visual check of the sub-frame.

Our Verdict

This 2012 Peugeot 207 Blue 1.4 petrol is a reasonable budget buy with a clean MOT pass record, but the recent corrosion and tyre wear advisories mean you should budget for near-term maintenance. Inspect the sub-frame and tyres closely before committing, and use the advisories to negotiate a fair price.

Before buying LS12ABX, ask for full service history to confirm the 1.4 litre petrol engine and suspension components have been maintained, as the MOT history shows recurring surface corrosion and anti-roll bar play from 2020. Use the 2024 advisories — front sub-frame corrosion and offside rear tyre worn on edge — as leverage to negotiate a discount of a few hundred pounds or request the seller replaces the tyre first. Given the 2012 registration and 1360cc engine, this is a straightforward small hatchback, but verify the discoloured rear indicators are legal and not a sign of neglected electrics.

As a 1360cc petrol Peugeot 207 first registered in 2012, this model typically falls into a low road tax band and a modest insurance group, keeping fixed costs affordable for a city or commuter car. Fuel economy on the 1.4 petrol is reasonable, though exact figures are not in the provided data; budget for periodic maintenance of suspension and brakes given the MOT advisories. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep is around £900-£1,100, with the corroded sub-frame potentially adding cost if it worsens.

On this specific vehicle, physically check the front sub-frame corrosion noted at the 2024 MOT (85,624 miles) to ensure it has not progressed beyond 'not seriously weakened', and measure the offside rear tyre tread as it was worn close to the limit on the edge. The 2020 MOT at 70,500 miles recorded surface corrosion to front/rear suspension and underbody plus slight play in both front anti-roll bar ball joints — re-inspect these areas for deterioration. Also confirm the rear direction indicators are not excessively discoloured and check for any oil leak residue from the 2020 note (8.4.1) which was listed as not excessive.

The vehicle has passed every MOT from 2020 to 2024 with no failures, covering 70,500 to 85,624 miles over four years. The 2024 test flagged a corroded front sub-frame (not seriously weakened), rear tyre wear on the edge, and discoloured rear indicators, while the 2020 test noted surface corrosion and minor suspension play. At 85,624 miles for a March 2012 car, the mileage is around average for its age, and no aggregate model reliability data is available to compare against.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Peugeot 207, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
