2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · EK58 ACX

The 2008 Peugeot 107’s most recent MOT on 2024-09-30 at 63,311 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a 2023-09-26 pass at 61,114 miles and a 2022-09-30 pass at 56,107 miles, but the vehicle also failed on 2022-09-29 at the same mileage. The pattern suggests inconsistent testing or potential issues unresolved between 2022 and 2024. While no specific mechanical faults were noted, the repeated failures at identical mileages raise concerns about underlying problems that may persist despite subsequent passes. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,311 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 3,517 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might accelerate corrosion or component degradation. Notably, the 2021-09-30 test at 52,467 miles showed no defects, but the 2022-09-29 failure at 56,107 miles—just 3,640 miles later—suggests a possible decline in maintenance standards. The lack of detailed defect records complicates a full assessment but highlights the need for further inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. The repeated failures in 2022 and 2024, even without recorded defects, warrant scrutiny of brake components, including caliper binding and disc corrosion. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. The absence of detailed MOT notes limits certainty, but the irregular testing pattern and low mileage suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
