2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · MA09 TZM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear-and-tear components. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 143,300 miles, the car passed despite multiple advisories concerning distorted wheels and pitted brake discs. While the vehicle is currently legal, the persistence of these issues across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they reach the threshold of MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 143,300 miles, this 17-year-old Peugeot has covered a consistent average distance of approximately 8,400 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 2,500 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 3,600 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary which often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer must specifically inspect the wheels and suspension, as the tester has flagged distorted inner road wheels since at least 2022. This distortion often results from impact damage, which can affect alignment and wheel bearings. Furthermore, the recurring play in the anti-roll bar linkage and lower suspension arm ball joints noted between 2022 and 2023 indicates the front suspension geometry is nearing the end of its functional life. The buyer should also check for lateral play in the steering. The braking system shows signs of neglect, with pitting and scoring on the front discs recorded in 2024 and 2025. The minor exhaust leak identified in 2022 and 2023 should be re-verified to ensure it has not developed into a structural failure. Given the history of perishing tyres and worn edges, a thorough physical inspection of the current tyre set for sidewall cracking is essential before before purchase.
