2010 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · WM10 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 5 May 2026 at 108,496 miles. While the car consistently meets minimum standards, the record shows a recurring pattern of minor mechanical degradation rather than a single catastrophic failure. The presence of an oil leak noted in May 2025 and again in May 2026 suggests a persistent but non-critical issue that has remained unaddressed. Recent advisories regarding tyre wear and edge degradation indicate that while the vehicle is roadworthy, consumable maintenance is currently trailing behind usage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,781 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 33,723 miles in 2015 to the current 108,496 miles, suggesting regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which provides a reliable longitudinal view of the vehicle's condition. The gradual increase in recorded mileage aligns with the typical wear patterns seen in the braking and suspension components flagged over the last decade. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the engine and exhaust systems due to the recurring advisories. The tester flagged an oil leak in both 2025 and 2026, and the exhaust system has shown a history of deterioration, including a defective mounting in 2024 and a deteriorated flexi joint in 2025. These components require close scrutiny to ensure the leak is not worsening and that the exhaust integrity is sound. The history of steering and suspension issues, specifically the track rod end and steering rack inner joint play noted in 2022 and 2023, suggests that the front-end geometry and bushings should be checked for stability. Braking components also warrant a physical check. The record shows a trend of worn or lipped brake discs and thinning pads, with specific issues noted in 2017, 2019, 2024, and 2025. While these are standard consumable items, the frequency of these advisories implies that the braking system is nearing the end of its current service interval. Finally, ensure the tyres are replaced soon, as the May 2026 test highlighted an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit.
