2007 Peugeot 207 1.4L Diesel · SM07 AEB

The 2007 Peugeot 207 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its MOT history, with no defects recorded in its last five tests, including the most recent at 190,173 miles on 2022-01-21. No recurring issues or structural concerns are flagged in the data, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, the absence of tests since 2022 raises questions about ongoing compliance, as the vehicle has not been assessed for four years. This gap could indicate either prolonged use without mandatory checks or potential undetected deterioration in critical systems. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging ~10,000 miles per year. Tests between 2017 and 2022 show steady mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. The 2017-04-22 test at 154,887 miles to the 2022-01-21 test at 190,173 miles reflects a 35,286-mile rise over five years, consistent with regular driving. However, the lack of intermediate MOT records between 2018 and 2022 means gaps in monitoring, particularly for components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, which may degrade over time without inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. Corrosion under the chassis, especially around the exhaust system and body seams, warrants inspection due to the car’s age. Brake components, including discs and pads, should be assessed for uneven wear, while the steering and wheel bearings may show signs of fatigue. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate these risks, as MOT tests focus on pass/fail criteria rather than comprehensive wear analysis.
