2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · PY11 JXT

The 2024‑10‑24 MOT at 91,669 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a near‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and slight play in the off‑side front inner track‑rod end ball joint. These findings indicate that the vehicle remains roadworthy but shows signs of deferred maintenance, with recurring suspension wear and tyre degradation rather than a clear improvement or rapid deterioration. Mileage has risen from 10,473 miles in August 2014 to 91,669 miles in October 2024, averaging about 6,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 15‑year‑old car. The most notable acceleration occurred between October 2022 (67,192 miles) and October 2023 (86,485 miles), a gain of over 19,000 miles in a single year, while earlier periods showed more modest annual increases. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension components, paying close attention to ball joints, anti‑roll bar linkages and dust‑cover condition, as these have repeatedly failed. Tyre condition must be verified beyond the MOT’s visual assessment, especially the near‑side rear tyre’s edge wear. Brake wear, indicated by thin pads in 2022 and a persistent ABS warning in 2023, warrants a physical check of pads, discs and the ABS system. Any signs of coolant leakage or structural rust should also be examined, given the history of fluid leaks and the age of the vehicle.
