2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · BP08 ADO

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a concerning downward trend in structural and mechanical integrity. While the December 2025 test at 87,898 miles resulted in a pass, the advisory list indicates significant deterioration. The most recent inspection flagged corroded front and rear subframes alongside worn suspension arm pins and bushes. This follows a pattern of worsening condition established in the December 2024 test at 78,085 miles, where the tester noted corroded coil springs and subframe corrosion. The presence of corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside rear in the latest test suggests that previous issues with corrosion are progressing rather than being resolved. The mileage history reflects a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 4,883 miles per year over its 18-year lifespan. The data shows consistent annual testing from 2012 through 2025, though the rate of mileage accumulation has increased recently. Between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles, a notable jump compared to the much slower growth seen between 2017 and 2021. This recent increase in usage, combined with the low overall mileage, may mean the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which often accelerates the corrosion seen in the chassis and brake lines. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside. The recurring advisories for subframe corrosion and worn suspension bushes since at least 2023 suggest that structural integrity is a primary concern. The tester has repeatedly flagged worn or pitted front brake discs since 2022, indicating that consumable maintenance is being deferred. The recent mention of corroded brake pipes covered in grease is a specific red flag, as grease can sometimes be used to mask the extent of metal degradation. Physical inspection should focus on the condition of the coil springs and the severity of the subframe rust. Given the history of suspension component wear, checking the play in the ball joints and the condition of the rubber bushes is essential. The windscreen damage noted in 2023 and 2024 should also be verified for any new chips or cracks. While the car has passed its tests, the mounting list of advisories regarding corrosion and suspension wear suggests that significant preventative maintenance is required to avoid future failures.
