2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · WR59 VDP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 50,973 miles, this followed a failure due to a split nearside CV boot and a perished rear tyre. The trend shows recurring minor defects, such as oil and coolant leaks, which have persisted across multiple years, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT certificate or reach failure status. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 50,973 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows very little movement between tests, with only 554 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and a mere 273 miles in the following year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing of tyres and the split drive shaft boot noted in the 2025 records. A buyer must personally inspect the engine bay for the source of the persistent oil and coolant leaks flagged in both 2024 and 2025. The radiator-related coolant leak requires close attention to hose integrity and pressure-induced thinning. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes, as these components often fail when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The replacement of the nearside CV boot needs to be verified to ensure no grease has escaped the joint, which would lead to premature drivetrain failure.
