2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · RV56 ADZ

The vehicle shows a history of recurring mechanical and suspension issues that suggest a reactive rather than preventative maintenance approach. In the most recent test in July 2023 at 116,824 miles, the car passed after failing the day prior for a nearside front wheel bearing, a rear stop lamp, and an anti-roll bar linkage. The front anti-roll bar linkage and rear exhaust leak remained persistent faults across multiple years dating back to 2020 and 2021, indicating these components are only addressed when they reach a point of inspection failure. At 116,824 miles over 20 years, the car has averaged a low approximately 5,800 miles per year. However, this low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and corrosion due to age. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered only 9,139 miles, yet it suffered from multiple critical failures, including exposed tyre cords and a failing suspension arm bush. The repeated failure of the offside front lower suspension arm bush in 2022 suggests that the suspension geometry is reaching terminal wear despite the low mileage. The record reveals a consistent trend of braking system-related wear. Front brake discs were noted as pitted or scored in tests during 2017, 2021, and 2022, suggesting the vehicle likely sits for long periods allowing oxidation to form. In 2020, the tester identified corroded rear brake pipes and corroded rear coil springs, which are significant structural concerns. A buyer should specifically inspect the current integrity of the brake lines and the condition of the rear springs, as the history shows the vehicle is prone to environmental-related corrosion in these areas.
