2013 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · SX13 KPA

The 2025‑01‑13 MOT at 98,695 miles resulted in a pass, but the record shows that the same day the vehicle had failed earlier due to a non‑functional offside front headlamp, a split offside front drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boot, and rear axle corrosion, indicating that the latest test only addressed minor advisories while serious mechanical faults remained present. The overall maintenance trend is therefore concerning, with repeated failures in suspension and drivetrain components suggesting a worsening condition rather than stability. Mileage has climbed from 29,048 miles in 2017 to 98,695 miles in 2025, an increase of 69,647 miles over eight years, an average of about 8,700 miles per year, which exceeds the typical 7,592 miles per year for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The most rapid accumulation occurs between 2021‑12‑21 (78,981 miles) and 2024‑01‑10 (88,637 miles), a gain of 9,656 miles in roughly two months, and a jump of 14,275 miles from 2021‑03‑17 to 2022‑12‑21, indicating intensified use and accelerated wear on consumables and structural parts. A buyer should therefore inspect the front drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boots and joints for split or insecure fittings, examine the rear axle and sub‑frame for corrosion and structural weakening, and verify the condition of suspension bushes, anti‑roll bar linkages, and steering rack inner joints, all of which have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history. The recurring binding rear brakes and handbrake reserve travel issues demand a close check of brake calipers, discs, pads, and the handbrake mechanism, while tyre wear near the legal limit and previous tyre defects require assessment of tyre condition, alignment and suspension geometry.
