2012 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · PK12 RDO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning failure to address recurring mechanical defects. The most recent test on 18 May 2026 at 67,874 miles flagged a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. This is a repeat failure from the 6 May 2025 test at 65,349 miles, indicating that the owner ignored a known component requiring replacement despite it being identified over a year prior. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,874 miles represents an average of approximately 4,848 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion rather than mechanical wear. The mileage accumulation between the 2023 and 2026 tests is consistent, showing roughly 2,100 miles per annum, yet the low mileage does not explain the persistence of rubber-related issues seen in the records. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the offside front drive shaft to ensure the grease has not escaped and the joint has not begun begun internal failure. The history shows recurring pitting and scoring on the brake discs noted in both 2023 and 2024, which is typical for low-mileage vehicles that sit and allow rust to form. Furthermore, the repeated edge wear on the front tyres flagged in 2023 and 2024 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre failure.
