2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · OP02 RED

The maintenance trend for this 2010 Peugeot 207 is entirely stable, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its recent history. The most recent MOT test on 6 August 2025 at 37,777 miles passed with zero recorded defects, mirroring the clean passes achieved in September 2023 and September 2022. An anomaly appears in the record on 19 September 2024, where the vehicle failed at 36,145 miles with no defects recorded, only to pass at 36,147 miles on the same day. This suggests an administrative or pre-test failure, such as a lighting issue rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Overall, the vehicle presents a reliable and well-maintained MOT record. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 2,361 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. Between the September 2022 test at 31,254 miles and the August 2025 test at 37,777 miles, the vehicle covered just 6,523 miles over nearly three years. The annual intervals between tests show a steady, gradual accumulation of miles without any sudden spikes or suspicious gaps. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and clutches, but it introduces specific risks associated with prolonged standing and aging rubber components. When inspecting this vehicle in person, focus on the vulnerabilities inherent to a low-mileage, sixteen-year-old car. Examine the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for perishing and cracking, as rubber hardens with age regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, which can cause binding or uneven braking on cars that sit for extended periods. Check the exhaust system and underbody for structural rust, paying close attention to the subframe and suspension mounting points. Tyres must be scrutinised for date codes and sidewall cracking, as the original or early replacement tyres will likely be dangerously aged despite retaining adequate tread depth.
