2011 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · SC11 ETX

The 2011 Peugeot 207 has a mixed MOT history, with recurring issues linked to lighting and mechanical components. The most recent MOT on 2025-11-12 recorded a failure due to both registration plate lamps being inoperative, plus a front position lamp failure. These issues align with earlier entries, including a 2024-09-10 pass for the same registration lamp defect and a 2023-11-16 failure for similar lighting problems. The pattern suggests persistent electrical or maintenance oversight, though no major safety risks were flagged in the latest test. A 2023-11-16 MOT revealed more serious mechanical faults: split constant velocity boots on both front drive shafts and excessive play in the nearside track rod end. These issues were not repeated in later tests, implying they may have been repaired. However, the recurring lighting defects indicate ongoing neglect, which could signal broader maintenance inconsistencies. The vehicle’s condition trend appears stable in terms of major mechanical risks, but the lack of resolution for lighting issues raises concerns about routine upkeep. The car’s mileage of 69,220 miles for a 15-year-old vehicle is low, averaging 4,615 miles annually. This could reflect light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to wear on components like seals, electrical systems, and suspension.
