2005 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LT55 AEG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle demonstrates a stable profile. Although a failure was recorded in December 2023, the subsequent two years of clean passes without any advisories indicate that the vehicle is being maintained to a sufficient standard and that previous issues were successfully addressed. The recorded mileage of 148,588 miles is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, representing an average annual usage of approximately 7,076 miles. This level of usage is typical for a small city car and suggests a balanced lifecycle of regular use rather than extreme high-mileage motorway running or excessive periods of stagnation. While this avoids the risks associated with long-term standing, such as seized brakes or fuel degradation, the cumulative mileage means that wear on consumable items like the clutch, alternator, and suspension components should be a primary consideration. As the recent MOT history is notably clean and lacks specific advisories, your inspection must focus on age-related degradation and physical wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or a weathered appearance, as rubber loses elasticity over two decades regardless of tread depth. During the test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that might indicate worn bushes or failing coil springs, and check for any brake shudder or pulsation which could suggest warped discs or uneven pad wear. Additionally, inspect the vehicle for signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox and check the condition of the 12V battery, as older vehicles can suffer from inconsistent electrical performance. Verify that the service book contains evidence of regular oil changes and that time-based maintenance, such as coolant and brake fluid replacements, has been performed. Finally, check the underside for significant corrosion on the exhaust system and structural elements, ensuring that the vehicle's integrity remains sound despite its age and mileage.
