2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · BD02 BEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2024 at 106,172 miles showed the car passing only after addressing failures related to lighting and significant mechanical defects. While the immediate safety-critical faults were rectified, the persistent presence of corroded brake pipes and play in the offside front wheel bearing indicates that chassis-level components are only being serviced once they reach a point of failure. At 106,172 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban usage. The mileage records show consistent annual testing, with a gap of roughly 8,500 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 12,200 miles prior. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low annual mileage often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber-based components, as seen in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as corrosion on brake pipes has been a recurring adviser and failure since 2022. The presence of grease on the corroded pipes noted in 2024 is often an attempt to mask structural rust, which warrants a close underbody check. The offside front wheel bearing, which was flagged for play in 2024, be checked for continued noise or movement to ensure the replacement was effective. Previous issues with perishing tyres and uneven wear in 2022 also suggest the suspension geometry or alignment may require attention to prevent further premature tyre failure.
