2008 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · OU08 YMT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 107,983 miles passed, it initially failed for a deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot and insufficient washer fluid. This reflects a recurring mechanical oversight, as the offside front CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in the previous 2025 test. These persistent issues suggest that the owner only addresses drivetrain components once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,983 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns, with only 949 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026, and 898 miles between March 2024 and 2025. However, low mileage on an aged vehicle often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the frequent reports of perished boots and suspension play found in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The history highlights multiple instances of distorted wheel rims and a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with play, indicating potential impact damage or age-related bushing wear. The report of gases leaking past injector seals in 2024 requires a thorough engine inspection to ensure there is no ongoing carbon buildup or engine performance loss. Furthermore, the repeated failure of the CV boots should be checked for grease leakage, as the record indicates these components are prone to rapid failure on this vehicle.
