2014 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · LS14 DYU

The 2014 Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 44,190 miles and presents a broadly stable maintenance trend. The tester raised only minor advisories: deteriorated rear registration plate, light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers, and a defective front exhaust mounting. These faults show no escalation from the 2024 and earlier tests and pose no immediate roadworthiness risk. Recorded mileage sits at 44,190 against an eleven-year service life, averaging roughly 3,682 miles per year. The car covered just 3,866 miles between September 2024 and September 2025 and 4,020 miles the year before. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which typically accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion rather than mechanical fatigue. The MOT history is sparse on defects, with clean passes in 2021 and 2023 supporting a lightly used, reasonably cared-for vehicle. A buyer should physically inspect the front sub-frame corrosion flagged at 40,324 miles in September 2024, as structural rust progresses unseen once advisories lapse. The rear brake discs showed pitting on inner faces in September 2022; confirm they were replaced or remain within tolerance. Both front and rear shock absorbers have carried light oil misting across three consecutive tests from 2024 to 2025, so check for weeping seals or degraded ride control. Verify the front exhaust mounting defect from the latest test and the near-side front tyre edge wear noted in 2024 has been corrected. Low mileage hides damp-related issues; a workshop ramp inspection of bushes, coil springs, and underbody integrity remains prudent before purchase.
