2009 Peugeot 407 2.0L Diesel · WF09 KYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The most recent test on 16 February 2024 at 157,240 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just one week prior at 156,603 miles. This sequence suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing MOT failures once identified by the tester, although the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates makes the specific mechanical causes of the initial failures unclear. The mileage profile is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,250 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the car covered 10,630 miles, followed by roughly 7,908 miles in the year leading up to the 2024 test. This steady usage pattern avoids the risks associated with long periods of stationary, which can cause perished seals or brake corrosion. However, since the last MOT was conducted over two years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test, which represents a significant roadworthiness risk. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, as the Peugeot 407 is known for wear on lower control arms and bushes. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity and the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion is essential. Because the MOT history does not detail the reasons for the previous failures, the inspector must look for signs of binding calipers or thinning exhaust piping to ensure no underlying mechanical issues have developed since the last official inspection.
