2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · PE59 HCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 82,482 miles, it had failed just days prior due to multiple safety defects including a failed stop lamp and steering rack play. The persistence of worn brake discs across three years from 2023 to 2026 suggests that the owner is addressing only the minimum requirements to pass the MOT rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 17 years old, the recorded 82,482 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,850 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. Evidence from the September 2024 test at 79,516 miles showed the nearside rear tyre cracking and per, a common symptom of a vehicle that sits for long periods. The gap of nearly 3,000 miles between 2024 and 2026 shows consistent use despite the low total mileage. A buyer must inspect the steering and suspension systems thoroughly, as the record repeatedly flags play in the steering rack inner joints and anti-roll bar linkages. The April 2026 failure identified a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot, which requires immediate attention to prevent drive shaft failure. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak and noted oil leak indicate that the engine and exhaust system are beginning to show signs of age that go beyond simple consumable wear. The recurring pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs suggest the car has been used in damp environments, leading to corrosion on the metal surfaces.
