2007 Peugeot 207 S HDI 67 1.4L Heavy oil · WJ07 XUE

The most recent MOT test on 2026-03-10 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 143,790 miles. While the 2023 history includes two consecutive failures at 133,017 and 133,021 miles—both on the same test date—these were resolved before the subsequent December 2023 pass, suggesting either a temporary oversight or a minor, easily rectifiable issue. The trend since 2024 has been stable, with no further failures or advisories, indicating the vehicle has passed all major inspections without recurring problems. The absence of advisories in the last two tests further implies the owner has addressed any potential concerns promptly. The recorded mileage of 143,790 miles over nearly 19 years reflects an average of approximately 7,568 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the October 2023 failure and the December 2023 pass—just three weeks—suggests a quick resolution, though it does not clarify whether the issue was mechanical or administrative. The subsequent tests in 2024 and 2026 show consistent mileage progression without abrupt jumps, which would otherwise signal potential neglect or aggressive driving. However, the lack of detailed advisories in earlier tests means some wear-and-tear patterns remain unrecorded. Given the clean MOT history since 2024, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The 2023 failures, though resolved, warrant scrutiny of the braking system—specifically the rear calipers or brake pads—for signs of binding or uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be checked, particularly the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, for corrosion, as this is often not flagged in MOT tests unless it compromises safety. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are not always captured in MOT failures but can indicate long-term neglect.
