2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · BV59 TFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 60,558 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. While the car passed immediately upon retest, this follows a similar failure in January 2025 at 57,346 miles regarding the SRS warning lamp. These entries suggest the owner only addresses critical electronic and safety faults when they prevent an MOT certificate pass. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,558 miles is significantly low, averaging roughly 3,500 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear from distance. Between October 2023 and January 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,236 miles, indicating long periods of inactivity. Such usage patterns can cause seized caliper pistons, perished seals, and the degradation of tyre rubber, which aligns with the pitted brake discs noted in the earlier inspection. A buyer must inspect the electrical system thoroughly to ensure the MIL and SRS faults were not symptoms of deeper wiring loom issues or failing sensors. The history of thin brake pads and scored discs in 2023 indicates that the braking system was neglected until it reached the limit of its life. Given the age and low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for the Peugeot 107 when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods in damp climates.
