2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WL12 AAN

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring advisories and a failure to address long-term wear. While the most recent test on 20 July 2026 at 43,977 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a significant accumulation of defects. The tester flagged multiple tyres for cracking, perishing, and being worn close to the legal limit, alongside worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages on both the nearside and offside fronts. The presence of these issues across multiple consecutive years suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,141 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the progression from 4,745 miles in 2016 to 43,977 miles in 2026. While low mileage often implies less mechanical strain, the MOT history reveals that the vehicle has suffered from age-related degradation. Specifically, the tyres show consistent signs of perishing and cracking from 2022 through to 2026, which is a common consequence of vehicles sitting idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a persistent history of pitted or scored front brake discs dating back to 2021, and a failure in July 2025 due to insufficient front brake pad thickness. The suspension components, particularly the front arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages, have been flagged as worn for several years without resolution. These recurring advisories indicate that while the car remains roadworthy, the underlying mechanical components are approaching the end of their service life. Further attention should be paid to the tyres and battery security. The July 2026 test noted an insecure battery and multiple tyres nearing the legal limit, mirroring the failures and advisories seen in 2024 and 2025. Given the history of perishing rubber and worn suspension bushings, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the integrity of all rubber seals and bushes is necessary to ensure the vehicle does not require immediate, costly repairs following purchase.
