2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · AY13 XGO

The August 2026 test returned a pass, yet the same two advisories have now appeared across three consecutive examinations: the nearside rear wheel bearing has been flagged as slightly noisy since August 2024, and the nearside front tyre has shown edge wear close to the legal limit since August 2025. A major failure for an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp occurred in August 2024, and an offside headlamp aim failure caused a separate fail in August 2025 before being rectified. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of test outcomes but shows a persistent pattern of deferred attention to the same mechanical items. At 73,200 miles over 13 years the car averages roughly 5,600 miles annually, a low figure that often correlates with periods of limited use rather than gentle daily running. No mileage readings are supplied for the individual test dates, so the rate of accumulation between inspections cannot be verified; however, the overall figure suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which can accelerate bearing degradation and tyre flat-spotting. A buyer should inspect the nearside rear hub assembly closely — three years of recorded noise points to a bearing that is unlikely to improve without replacement. The consistent edge wear on the nearside front tyre indicates a probable alignment or suspension geometry issue, possibly worn lower arm bushes or a distorted subframe, rather than simple pressure neglect. Verify the engine management system clears codes cleanly and that the MIL illuminates correctly at ignition; the 2024 failure suggests an underlying fault was present even if subsequently cleared. Confirm headlamp aim holds adjustment under load, as the 2025 failure may reflect worn adjusters or mounting points. The record reveals a vehicle that passes its annual test but carries unresolved advisories that have migrated across multiple cycles. The wheel bearing and tyre wear are not cosmetic; they represent progressive mechanical wear that will require expenditure soon. No structural corrosion advisories appear, which is positive for a car of this age, but the recurring running-gear items indicate a maintenance approach that addresses minimum compliance rather than preventative renewal.
