2014 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · MJ64 LVP

The 2014 Peugeot 207 passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 131,745 miles, but only after a failure two days earlier at 131,738 miles. The July 2026 failure exposed a fractured near-side front coil spring, an excessively worn near-side front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, and a near-side front tyre worn on the edge. The test record shows a worsening front suspension trend. Minor edge tyre wear persists as a recurring advisory. The vehicle has covered 131,745 miles over roughly twelve years, an average of about 10,979 miles per year, which is typical for its age. A notable anomaly appears between the October 2024 test at 128,649 miles and the June 2025 test at 128,702 miles, where only 53 miles were recorded in eight months, suggesting a period of little use or a delayed renewal. Prior to that, mileage rose from 107,036 in October 2023 to 128,649 by October 2024, a 21,613-mile year of heavier driving. Recurring front-end wear demands a close physical inspection. The off-side front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint showed slight play in both 2024 and 2025, then the near-side front linkage failed outright in July 2026. Track rod end ball joints also carried slight-play advisories across 2024 and 2025. A buyer should verify all four suspension ball joints, the replaced coil spring, and remaining track rod ends for fresh wear or poor fitting. The 2023 test flagged pitted rear brake discs and a coolant leak, while 2024 and 2025 noted an insecure rear exhaust heat shield and a defective gearbox mounting. These point to deferred non-critical upkeep rather than acute structural failure. Inspect the coolant system for residual leaks, confirm the gearbox mounting is now sound, and check the rear exhaust shield and brake discs for corrosion or scoring before purchase.
