2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · S4 SOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 46,912 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure for both nearside and offside front outer drive shaft CV boots. This failure is a recurring trend seen in the previous three years, with the same faults flagged in September 2024 and 2023. The resolution of these issues after each failure suggests the owner only addresses these drivetrain components once they reach an MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Between September 2015 at 15,363 miles and September 2025 at 46,912 miles, the car covered only thirty thousand miles over a decade. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and internal gearbox components, it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts. The data shows consistent annual testing, indicating the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which can lead to the drying of seals and perishables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front drivetrain and suspension assembly, given the repeated history of the split CV boots. These boots are prone to grease leakage and grit ingress, which will eventually lead to premature joint failure if not monitored. The 2017 record noted an oil leak and low coolant levels, which warrants a current check for engine weeping or perished hose failures that may have returned over time. Given the low usage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion and pitting, as infrequently used brakes often suffer from surface rust that prevents the calipers from cleaning effectively.
