2011 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · SW11 AJU

The MOT history for this 2011 Peugeot 207 covers three annual test cycles between September 2023 and September 2025, with the most recent entry showing a pass on 23 September 2025 at the recorded mileage of 102,574. The vehicle has cleared inspection each year it has been submitted, but the pattern of paired failed and passed entries on consecutive or near-consecutive days in both 2024 and 2025 is a notable feature of the record. A failed test followed immediately by a pass typically indicates a minor, rectifiable issue was corrected between the two appointments, which is common for older vehicles. The overall trend appears stable in terms of roadworthiness, though the repeated same-day retests suggest a recurring pattern of last-minute remedial work rather than proactive maintenance. Across the recorded period, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 102,574 miles over fifteen years, equating to an average of around 6,800 miles annually. This figure is broadly typical for a car of this age. The recorded mileage entries are sparse, with only the most recent test confirming the 102,574 figure, making it difficult to assess year-on-year usage patterns. There are no large unexplained jumps in the mileage, and no evidence of extended periods off the road that would raise concern about corrosion or seized components from standing idle. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, an in-person inspection should prioritise areas commonly affected on high-mileage superminis of this generation. The rear suspension beam and mounting bushes on the Peugeot 207 are known wear points and should be checked for cracking, corrosion, or play, as these directly affect structural integrity and MOT outcomes. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses should be examined for wear ridges, binding, and perishing, particularly given the annual mileage. Exhaust mounting rubbers, underfloor corrosion around the rear axle area, and the condition of the coil springs are also worth close attention. While the MOT record itself is clean of recorded advisories, the absence of defect notes does not eliminate the possibility of developing wear, and a physical inspection remains essential for any prospective buyer of a fifteen-year-old vehicle at this mileage.
