2011 PEUGEOT 1071.0L Petrol

The 2011 Peugeot 107 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded in the most recent test on 2025-10-02, though it narrowly avoided failure in late September 2022 after a single-mile discrepancy. The vehicle’s roadworthiness trend is stable, with no recurring advisories or major faults across five consecutive tests. The lack of failings suggests the car has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance, though the absence of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or underbody corrosion, which often go unnoticed without a thorough inspection. The recorded mileage of 37,549 miles over 14 years—approximately 2,500 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is precise, with each MOT occurring exactly one year apart, which aligns with the car’s low mileage. The single-mile discrepancy between the 2022 failure and subsequent pass (33,706 vs. 33,711 miles) is likely administrative rather than indicative of rapid wear. This pattern suggests the car has spent extended periods stationary, which could accelerate issues like battery sulphation, tyre degradation, or suspension stiffness from prolonged immobility. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and low mileage. The 2022 failure—despite no recorded defects—implies a potential oversight in testing, so binding brakes, worn brake discs, or uneven tyre tread should be checked thoroughly. Underbody corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, is a common concern for this model age, and any rust penetration could compromise structural integrity. Finally, the battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, power steering) should be verified, as long-term inactivity can degrade these systems.
