2010 PEUGEOT 1071.0L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and component corrosion. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 67,721 miles, the tester identified a corroded rear sub-frame. Although the axle was not deemed to be seriously weakened at that time, the presence of rust on a structural member suggests ongoing degradation that must be monitored. The recurring nature of brake pipe and hose corrosion across multiple years indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to environmental-related decay. At 16 years old, this Peugeot 107 shows a notably low mileage profile, averaging approximately 4,233 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the jump from 37,624 miles in July 2022 to 47,705 miles in July 2023. However, the low mileage often correlates with the age of the rubber-based components. The record shows a perishing tyre in 2023 and persistent bushing issues, which suggests the car may have sat for long periods, leading to material-related wear despite the low odometer readings. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear sub-frame to determine if the corrosion has progressed since the 2025 advisory. The history shows a consistent pattern of failing brake pipes and rubber hoses being flagged in 2023, 2024, and 2025, necessitating a check for fluid leaks. Furthermore, the front anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes have been noted as worn in three consecutive tests. The buyer should verify if these suspension components have actually been replaced to ensure steering precision and prevent further mechanical failure.
