2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · LS60 UCB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 25, 2026, but the recent maintenance trend shows a sudden shift toward reactive repairs. The car failed the test just two miles prior at 54,749 miles due to a split offside front driveshaft CV boot and a worn offside front track rod end with excessive play. While these faults were rectified to secure the subsequent pass, the presence of mechanical failures suggests that components are only being addressed once they fail rather than through preventative maintenance. At 54,751 miles, this 2010 Peugeot has averaged approximately 3,422 miles per year over its life. This low usage often correlates with less engine wear, but it can also lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components due to periods of sitting. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 6,451 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to its historical average. However, the mileage remains low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, which generally suggests the overall longevity of the drivetrain and interior components despite the recent mechanical issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the track rod end replacement resolved the steering play without affecting alignment. The recurring history of worn tyres on the edges noted in both 2023 and 2025 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn shock absorber bushes that has not yet been fully corrected. Given the split CV boot found in March 2026, the buyer must check for grease leakage around the driveshaft to prevent imminent joint failure. Because the car is sixteen age, a physical check of the sills and structural points for corrosion is also essential, as these areas were not specifically highlighted in the recent MOT data.
