2012 Peugeot 207 1.4L Diesel · SY62 TYT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 98,666 miles passed despite multiple advisories regarding tyre wear, damage, and defective exhaust mountings. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of exhaust mounting failures across several years suggests the previous owners only addressed these faults once they threatened to cause an MOT failure. At approximately 100,000 miles, the Peugeot 207 has averaged roughly 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for its age. The mileage data shows steady annual progression, with only 3,000 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2025 tests. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the age of the components increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts perishing, as evidenced by the perished offside rear tyre noted in the latest record. A buyer must pay close attention to the exhaust system, as the front and rear mountings have been flagged as defective since 2023. The failure of the offside front coil spring in October 2024 indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their lifespan and should be inspected for further cracks or corrosion. Additionally, the fluctuating front service brakes noted in 2024 indicate thin or warped discs, which may require replacement to ensure consistent braking performance.
