2013 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · SH13 SSU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on January 10, 2026 at 155,604 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its inspections after addressing immediate failures on the same day. This pattern of a failure followed by an instant pass suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults once they are flagged by the tester, rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist or escalate over time. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles annually. Between the January 2024 test at 138,222 miles and the January 2025 test at 146,756 miles, the car covered 8,534 miles. A further 8,848 miles were clocked in the final year leading up to the most recent test. This steady mileage indicates regular use, which generally benefits the engine seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of stagnation. While the record shows no recurring advisories or structural defects, a buyer must focus on common wear points for a Peugeot 207 at this mileage. The high mileage puts significant strain on the suspension system, so a physical inspection of the control arm bushes and coil springs for fatigue is essential. Given the previous failures on test days, the braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the repairs remain effective. One should also inspect the underside for corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as the MOT record provides no specific data on past structural repairs or ongoing rust work.
