2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · SM09 XCS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean pass on December 17, 2025 at 101,450 miles. While a failure was recorded just weeks prior on November 26, 2025 at 101,415 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that entry suggests either an administrative error or a non-issue that was rectified immediately without leaving a mechanical trail. Since the May 2022 test, the maintenance trend has remained stable with no recurring mechanical or structural failures noted across the last three annual inspections. The mileage profile indicates low usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2023 (92,966 miles) and December 2024 (101,388 miles), where the car covered only over 8,400 miles in 19 months. More recent data shows extremely low activity, with only 62 miles recorded between the November and December 2025 tests. This pattern suggests long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and fluid acidity despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on components prone to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Check for signs of seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and cracking in the tyre lines. Given the age of the Peugeot 207, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear arches is essential, as the MOT record does not capture surface rust until it becomes significant. Ensure the tyres are not flat-otted resulting from the observed periods of inactivity.
