2013 Peugeot 207 1.6L Petrol · YP63 LSL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in October 2024 at 32,697 miles resulted in a pass, it followed just four days after a failure for tyre-related issues and a split CV boot. The trend shows recurring issues with rubber components and braking hardware, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,515 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2022 and October 2024, during which the car covered only 3,156 miles over two years. This low-frequency use often leads to the age-related degradation seen in the record. The cracking and perishing of the rear tyre noted in the October 2024 test is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods rather than suffering from high mileage wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the offside front drive shaft and CV boot, as this component failed in both 2022 and 2024. Despite the repairs, the recurring nature of this fault suggests potential underlying issues or poor quality replacement parts. The pitted and scored brake discs recorded in September 2022 indicate that the braking system suffers from corrosion due to lack of use, which should be checked for seized calipers or thin material during the inspection. Given the age and low mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and coolant hoses is essential to ensure the rubber has not become brittle from age.
