2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · EY60 AOB

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring corrosion and suspension wear. While it passed its most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 103,823 miles, the tester flagged corroded brake pipes at both the nearside and offside rear. This specific issue has appeared consistently since at least 2022, indicating that while repairs or treatments are being attempted, the underlying issue of brake line degradation remains unresolved. The presence of grease on these corroded pipes suggests an attempt to mask the deterioration rather than a permanent mechanical fix. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 28,392 miles in 2016 to the current 103,823 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the data. The vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent some forms of seizure, but the steady mileage has also led to the progressive wear of consumable components and suspension elements. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and the underside of the chassis. The persistent advisories regarding corroded brake pipes from 2022 through to 2026 suggest a high risk of fluid leaks or sudden pipe failure. The suspension also requires close attention; the 2025 test at 96,970 miles identified worn bushes on both front upper shock absorbers, following several suspension arm and anti-roll bar linkage advisories in February 2024. These recurring issues point to a vehicle that is reaching the end of its component lifecycles for various chassis parts. Beyond the brakes and suspension, the history shows intermittent issues with headlamp alignment and exhaust emissions, such as the Lambda reading failure in February 2023. While these are often easily rectified, the combination of ongoing corrosion and aging rubber bushes suggests that the vehicle will likely require immediate investment in its running gear to maintain long-term reliability. Focus specifically on the condition of the rear brake lines and the integrity of the front suspension bushings during a physical inspection.
