2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · HF11 AEK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive neglect regarding minor components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 54,643 miles resulted in a failure due to an ineffective windscreen wiper and worn front anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While the car passed upon immediate retest, the persistent presence of anti-roll bar linkage deterioration, dating back to 2023, suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the mileage of 54,643 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage is consistent with the lack of major mechanical failures between 2015 and 2018, where no defects were recorded. However, the interval between 2021 and 2026 shows a consistent increase of roughly 1,500 miles annually, though use. The low-mileage profile often leads to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals, which aligns with the recurring suspension issues seen in the later records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the record shows deteriorating anti-roll bar bushes and ball joint dust covers across multiple test years. The tester previously flagged a rough offside rear wheel bearing in 2022; the buyer must check for play or noise in the rear hub to ensure this was actually replaced. The distorted nearside front road wheel noted in 2025 indicates a history of impact, which warrants a check for alignment issues or steering vibration during a test drive. The recurring failures for windscreen wipers and hazard warning switches indicate that basic electrical and consumable items are frequently overlooked. While these do not pose structural risks, they reflect a pattern of minimal upkeep. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for surface corrosion is essential, as cars that sit for long periods can develop rust formation in hidden areas.
