2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Diesel · LS60 FDG

This Peugeot 207 demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness trend over the past five tests, with the most recent MOT on 17 November 2025 at 101,127 miles passing without any recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failures across four consecutive annual tests suggests that major mechanical or structural issues have not been overlooked. However, the single failure in November 2022—just two days before its subsequent pass—was unusual, as no defects were logged, implying either a minor oversight in testing or a vehicle that narrowly avoided a more serious condition. The latest test was conducted just six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, given that the average annual mileage of 6,320 miles would typically warrant closer scrutiny of wear items. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. From 94,263 miles in late 2022 to 101,127 miles in late 2025, the vehicle has averaged around 6,300 miles per year, which is reasonable for its age. There is a notable gap between the 2022 failure and pass, just two days apart, which could indicate either a rushed retest or a vehicle that was close to failing a critical component—though no specifics are provided. The lack of significant mileage jumps or extended periods of inactivity also implies that the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left unused for prolonged periods, which could have accelerated corrosion or suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not always captured in standard MOT tests. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for excessive play, corrosion, or uneven wear, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. Brake components, including the rear calipers and discs, warrant close attention, as binding or uneven wear could have been missed in previous tests. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without always being flagged in an MOT. Finally, the tyre tread depth and condition should be verified, as the absence of failures does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained.
