2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · AF10 KUG

The vehicle presents with a clean and consistent MOT history, having passed its tests on 22 April 2024, 30 March 2023, and 31 March 2022 with no defects or advisories recorded on any occasion. This unblemished three-year record suggests a stable maintenance trend and indicates that the vehicle has not developed any testable failures in core safety-related areas such as braking efficiency, lighting and signalling, suspension components, steering, or exhaust emissions. However, the absence of advisories is not in itself a guarantee of overall mechanical condition, as the MOT test is a minimum-standard roadworthiness check and does not assess engine, transmission, or interior condition in depth. The straightforward MOT history is nevertheless a positive indicator of fundamental soundness for a prospective buyer. With 100,300 recorded miles spread over approximately 16 years, the vehicle averages around 6,269 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a small city-oriented Peugeot 107 of this generation. There is no evidence of unusually rapid mileage accumulation that would imply excessive wear on the drivetrain, nor is there any indication of extended standing periods that might give rise to corrosion-related issues from inactivity. This balanced usage pattern should, in principle, have allowed consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and the timing chain to wear at a predictable and moderate rate. The regularity of annual MOT tests also suggests the vehicle has been in continuous use rather than laid up for long stretches. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, several age-related checks are strongly advised irrespective of the clean MOT record. Tyres warrant close physical inspection, paying particular attention to sidewall perishing and cracking, which commonly affect older tyres even when tread depth remains adequate; perishing compromises structural integrity and increases the risk of sudden failure. The 12-volt battery is likely approaching the end of its service life given the calendar age, and a load test or voltage check is prudent, as a weak battery can cause starting issues and electrical faults that are not covered by an MOT. Brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion, particularly on the inner faces, as standing overnight in damp conditions can lead to judder or vibration on the first application of the brakes; likewise, the handbrake mechanism should be confirmed to hold firmly without excessive travel. Additional age-appropriate items to verify include the condition and level of all fluids, notably engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and the manual transmission oil if applicable, with brake fluid being particularly susceptible to moisture absorption over time and typically requiring replacement every two to three years regardless of mileage. The exhaust system, including the rubber mountings and the catalytic converter area, should be inspected for corrosion, as 16-year-old exhausts frequently exhibit significant surface rust even when functional. On a test drive, listen for any clonks or knocks from the suspension, particularly over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as worn anti-roll bar bushes, wishbone bushes, or top mount bearings can develop without necessarily producing an MOT failure. Verify that the cooling fan operates correctly, that the heater produces consistent warmth, and that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after engine start, as any lingering or intermittent warning lights may indicate developing sensor or system faults. Finally, confirming a full service history with documented cambelt or timing chain inspections, along with evidence of regular oil changes, would provide substantial additional reassurance given the vehicle's age and accumulated mileage.
