2009 Peugeot 207 1.4L Petrol · YY59 KXD

The 2009 Peugeot 207 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend in its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 18 August 2025 passing without any defects at 51,753 miles. This follows three consecutive passes from 2022 through 2024, after a single failed test in August 2023 that was subsequently reversed. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears consistent, with no recurring advisories or deteriorating issues flagged across the six-year MOT span. The absence of defects in the latest test suggests any prior concerns, such as the 2023 failure, were isolated and resolved. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 3,044 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan. The recorded mileage increased steadily from 41,088 miles in August 2022 to 47,918 miles in August 2024, and 51,753 miles in August 2025, reflecting normal usage patterns. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests includes a failed test at 44,379 miles, which was retested the same day and passed, indicating a minor, resolved issue rather than systemic neglect. The data shows no rapid mileage accumulation or irregular jumps, suggesting consistent, light use by prior owners. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on areas prone to age-related wear. Given the vehicle’s age, check for corrosion in the rear wheel arch lips and sill sections, particularly around the rear subframe mounts. Inspect suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for signs of cracking or degradation, and examine the brake system, including discs and calipers, for uneven wear or past binding issues, especially considering the 2023 failure. The exhaust system and emissions should also be verified, though recent passes indicate no current faults. Given the low mileage, assess for moisture ingress in the interior and under the bonnet, which can occur during prolonged storage periods. Overall, the MOT record reflects diligent maintenance, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s present condition.
