2007 Peugeot 207 1.6L Diesel · SM07 AEO

The vehicle presents a concerning lack of current roadworthiness data, as the last recorded MOT test occurred on 10 October 2022 at 117,189 miles. Given that today is 13 July 2026, the car has been without a valid MOT certificate for over three years and nine months. While the final test resulted in a pass, the absence of subsequent annual inspections means the current mechanical state is entirely unknown. The maintenance trend cannot be considered stable because the vehicle appears to have been off the road or operated illegally since late 2022. The recorded mileage of 117,189 over 19 years averages to approximately 6,168 miles per annum, which is consistent with light to moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. A notable inconsistency appears in the 2020 records where the vehicle failed its test on 24 September 2020 at 109,668 miles, only to pass a retest on 1 October 2020 at a lower recorded mileage of 107,668 miles. This discrepancy suggests a clerical error in the DVSA database or a potential odometer inconsistency that warrants physical verification of the dashboard unit against any available service invoices. Prospective buyers must prioritise a comprehensive inspection of the chassis and subframe, as the vehicle has likely been stationary for an extended period, increasing the risk of seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on the brake discs. The Peugeot 207 platform is prone to issues with the timing chain tensioner and cooling system leaks, which may have developed or worsened during the long period of inactivity. You should verify the condition of the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking and ensure that all electronic systems remain functional, as long-term storage often leads to battery discharge and subsequent failure of the body control module.
