2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · BK12 LLD

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its underbody and braking components. While it successfully passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 88,291 miles, the record shows a significant increase in mechanical defects that were absent in the previous year. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-fault failure in 2025 indicates that the vehicle is currently being maintained only to MOT compliance standards rather than undergoing preventative mechanical care. At 88,291 miles over 14 years, the car averages approximately 6,300 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-mid-range city usage. However, the vehicle covered 9,783 miles between December 2023 and August 2025, showing a period of active use that coincides with the appearance of structural wear issues. The low annual mileage has not prevented the age-related degradation of rubber and metal components, which is common in vehicles of this age in the climate. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The 2025 test flagged corrosion on the offside rear upper brake pipe and slight corrosion on both rear brake hose ferrules, alongside a binding nearside front brake. These issues suggest potential caliper sticking or hydraulic line degradation over time. Furthermore, the front anti-roll bar linkage bushes have been flagged as worn in both 2023 and 2025, indicating that the suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life. Structural integrity of the exhaust and coil springs also requires attention. The tester noted corrosion on the exhaust system and both front coil springs during the latest inspection. While these did not result in an immediate failure, they represent a clear risk of future structural failure if not addressed. Given the recurring nature of worn bushes and lighting bulbs in the history, the next owner should budget for immediate replacement of these deteriorating items to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
