2012 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · WJ62 TXM

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently sound, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 30,128 miles. However, the maintenance trend is not straightforward. The record shows a failed test on the same day as that pass, indicating a reactive repair visit. During that initial failure, the tester flagged a non-functioning offside front position lamp, incorrectly mounted nearside rear inner brake pads, and worn or pitted rear brake discs. The subsequent pass confirms these specific items were rectified. Beyond this recent intervention, the history is largely clean, with only a minor advisory for a slightly loose nearside obligatory mirror in March 2023. The trend is therefore one of a well-maintained vehicle that required a specific, and now addressed, brake and lighting service. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging just over 2,150 miles per year. The record shows a steady but slow accumulation: 23,946 miles in March 2023, 25,721 miles in March 2024, 27,828 miles in February 2025, and 30,128 miles in February 2026. This equates to roughly 2,000 miles annually in recent years. Such low use can imply long periods of standing, which may lead to perished tyre sidewalls and corrosion of brake components from lack of use, rather than high-mileage wear. The recent advisory for perishing on both rear tyres aligns with this pattern of age-related deterioration. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the components recently flagged and those susceptible to age-related decay. The rear brake discs were noted as worn or pitted; their current condition and the quality of the repair, including the correctly mounted pads, should be verified. Both rear tyres, size 205/45/17, showed cracking or perishing in February 2026. Even if replaced for the MOT, their age and the vehicle's low usage warrant close examination for sidewall integrity. Given the low mileage and potential for standing, a thorough check for corrosion on the underside, particularly around brake lines, suspension mounts, and the exhaust system, is advised. The front suspension and steering components should be inspected for perished bushes, which can deteriorate with age and infrequent use.
