2007 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · MA57 HHG

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2022 at 57,566 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just two days prior. That failure highlighted multiple critical issues, including a fractured nearside front coil spring and a split CV boot. The presence of a deteriorated offside front lower arm ball joint dust cover on the subsequent pass indicates that the owner only addressed mechanical faults once they triggered a test failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a significant five-year gap between the October 2017 and October 2022 tests, during which the car covered only 1,251 miles. This extremely low usage suggests long periods of the vehicle standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seal integrity regardless of mechanical wear. The excessive carbon monoxide emissions noted in 2017 further indicate an engine that may suffer from short trips or poor combustion cycles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows a recurring failure of coil springs and ball joints across both 2017 and 2022. The nearsside CV boot should be checked for grease leakage or tearing to ensure the previous repair has held firm. Additionally, the persistent oil leaks noted in 2016 and 2017 necessitate a close look at the engine block and sump gasket to determine if the leak is active or merely historical. Given that the last MOT was over three years ago as of June 2026, the vehicle is significantly overdue for a test. Immediate attention should be paid to the state of the brake calipers and the condition of the tyres, as low-mileage use often leads to surface corrosion and seized hardware.
