2009 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · SD59 OAW

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of minor mechanical degradation and deferred attention. The most recent test in October 2025 at 87,309 miles passed despite the presence of a worn offside front tyre and a non-excessive oil leak. This leak has appeared in every consecutive test since 2023, indicating a long-term seal failure or slow-running engine issue that the owners have chosen not to rectify as it remains below the failure threshold. At 17 years old, the recorded 87,309 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 5,136 miles. The mileage accumulation is steady and consistent, with the car covering roughly 4,000 to 8,000 miles between tests from 2021 to 2025. While low mileage generally preserves drivetrain components, it often leads to rubber components per due to age, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with CV boots and exhaust components noted between 2021 and 2023. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The nearside drive shaft boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2021 and again in 2023, suggesting the part may not have been replaced or is nearing a total joint failure. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with pitted discs and thin pads noted across 2022 and 2023. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the rear exhaust and the source of the persistent oil leak to ensure it does not lead to structural corrosion or engine failure.
