2004 Peugeot 407 1.6L Diesel · NG54 RWO

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the two consecutive failed tests recorded in September 2022. The most recent test on 2022-09-22 at 80,857 miles was passed, but the immediate failure on 2022-09-20 at 80,855 miles indicates a deterioration in mechanical integrity that has not been corrected. This pattern suggests an ongoing trend of worsening condition rather than a stable maintenance history. The mileage data reveals a significant gap between the two failed dates, with the first failure occurring at 80,855 miles on 2022-09-20 and the second failure at 75,544 miles on 2021-09-03. This accumulation of miles between the two failures suggests that the vehicle may have experienced a period of reduced usage or a slower driving pattern during the gap, which is a common indicator of a mechanical issue rather than a simple wear and tear. The lack of any recorded defects in the September 2022 test confirms that the vehicle was not damaged during this period, but the subsequent failure points to a deeper mechanical problem. Given the failure history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle specifically for binding rear brakes, binding calipers, and structural integrity issues. The repeated failures in September 2022, particularly the first failure at 80,855 miles on 2022-09-20, strongly imply that the braking system may be compromised. A buyer should also check for corrosion on brake discs and exhaust emissions, as these components are frequently the cause of these failures. The vehicle's suspension and drivetrain components, such as bushings and coil springs, are also a critical area to evaluate given the mileage context and the history of failed tests.
