2016 Peugeot E7 2.0L Diesel · SF66 EKG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 21 July 2026 at 199,200 miles passed with an advisory for a non-excessive oil leak. This follows a failure in October 2025 for a worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and unadjusted parking brake lever. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of suspension component failures suggests these areas are under high-mileage stress. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 26,148 miles in a single year, indicating consistent long-distance motorway use. This high rate of accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. The consistency of the annual tests shows the vehicle is used regularly, but the sheer distance accelerates the natural wear of consumable mechanical parts. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages have failed multiple times in both 2022 and 2025. These repeated failures indicate that the steering and geometry components are reaching the end of their service life. The oil leak noted in the July 2026 test should be monitored to determine if it is a minor gasket seal or a more significant engine leak. Given the sub-200,000-mile mark, a check for structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the exhaust system is essential to ensure the vehicle integrity has not been compromised by the high usage cycles.
