2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · MF09 VRY

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of worsening mechanical and electrical neglect. While it passed its most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 119,603 miles, this followed two consecutive failures within a single week. The history reveals a pattern of addressing only the minimum requirements to secure a certificate rather than resolving underlying mechanical issues. The persistence of an engine misfire across three years suggests a deep-seated ignition or fueling fault that remains un properly rectified. At 119,603 miles, this 2009 Peugeot has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual use for its age. However, the 7,000 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests show the vehicle is still in active use despite significant mechanical failures. The appearance of a distorted offside front road wheel and worn tyres in the most recent test indicates that the vehicle is being subjected to stress without preventative maintenance between inspection intervals. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the engine mounting and suspension, as the nearside front mounting was flagged as damaged and deteriorated in early 2026. The recurring engine misfire and the noted oil leak from 2025 require a professional diagnostic to prevent catastrophic failure. Furthermore, the previous failure regarding an insecure exhaust and heat shield in 2025 should be re-checked to ensure corrosion has not progressed to the point of structural failure. The frequent failures of light bulbs and indicators suggest a reactive approach to basic electrical upkeep.
