2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GU61 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a worsening trend in reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 70,556 miles, it failed immediately prior due to multiple safety defects. The presence of a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease suggests a potential attempt to mask a leak or significant neglect of fluid lines. This pattern indicates the owner only addresses faults when forced to do so by an MOT test failure. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,556 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components due to age. Between October 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 12,109 miles, yet the record shows recurring issues with perishing tyres and corrosion. The 2022 and 2026 tests suggest that the vehicle has suffered from time-related decay despite the low distance traveled. A buyer must inspect the underbody for the progression of the general surface corrosion that has been a consistent advisory since 2024. The 2022 failure noted a nearside rear shock absorber with a serious leak and a binding rear brake indicates the suspension and braking components are prone to seizing. Close attention is required on the offside rear brake pipe to ensure the repair was thorough and not a temporary patch. Additionally, check the tyre sidewalls for further perishing or cracking, as the history shows multiple tyres flagged for age-related damage across different years.
