2010 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · YC60 AED

The 2024‑01‑29 MOT at 130,429 miles passed, but recorded a minor exhaust leak (6.1.2 (a)) and a brake pipe corroded and covered in grease (1.1.11 (c)), resulting in advisory notes rather than a failure. Recurring brake‑pipe corrosion and wheel‑bearing play have appeared in every test since 2021, indicating a stable but concerning maintenance trend rather than improvement or rapid deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 46,365 miles in 2013 to 130,429 miles in 2024, averaging 8,152 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Peugeot 207. Notable gaps include a jump of roughly 15,900 miles between the 2014‑10‑28 failure at 60,891 miles and the 2015‑11‑11 pass at 76,815 miles, and a further increase of about 8,200 miles from the 2021‑01‑11 test (114,645 miles) to the 2022‑01‑15 test (122,816 miles). Apart from these periods, the incremental mileage between consecutive tests remains consistent with normal annual usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension components—particularly the off‑side and near‑side front and rear wheel bearings, the steering rack inner joint and gaiter, the anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint, and the constant‑velocity joint boot for deterioration—as well as the brake system, checking for binding rear calipers, the state of the brake discs, and the integrity of the corroded brake pipe. Visual assessment of the chassis for rust, especially around the exhaust mounting points and structural members, and verification of tyre wear patterns that favour edge wear will reveal whether the recurring defects are being addressed or have been neglected.
