2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · CE60 URU

This Peugeot 107 presents a mixed mechanical picture. The most recent MOT, conducted on 23 December 2025 at 89,701 miles, passed, yet it revealed a worsening trend in corrosion across all four brake pipes, each flagged as corroded and contaminated with grease or other material. The hand brake also recorded high travel, though reserve remained. While the car has remained roadworthy, the escalation from isolated rear pipe corrosion in earlier years to all four pipes flagged in the latest test suggests a progressive deterioration that demands close inspection. The annual mileage of roughly 5,606 miles over sixteen years is notably low for a city car of this type. Between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 6,795 miles, a modest uptick but still within a light-use profile. The MOT record itself is consistent, with annual tests completed each December and no significant gaps in the sequence. This regularity implies the car has been kept in active use rather than left standing for extended periods, which reduces the risk of long-term storage-related deterioration such as flat-spotted tyres or seized components. The recurring brake pipe corrosion is the dominant concern. From December 2023 at 77,283 miles, testers flagged corrosion on multiple brake pipes, and by December 2025 at 89,701 miles, all four were cited. The contamination with grease or other material on each occasion suggests the corrosion may have been masked rather than properly remedied, raising questions about whether the pipes have been treated cosmetically rather than replaced. A buyer should have the underside inspected on a lift, paying particular attention to the condition of the brake lines at mounting points and along the chassis rails where moisture and road salt accumulate. The high hand brake travel noted in the latest test also warrants examination of the rear brake adjusters, cables, and parking brake linkage for stretch or seizure. Beyond the braking system, the 2023 failure for multiple lamp failures and a defective wiper indicates minor electrical and visibility issues were present at that time, though these were resolved for the subsequent pass. The 2022 advisory on front brake pad wear and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit suggests consumable wear was being monitored rather than neglected. A prospective buyer should verify the current condition of all lighting circuits, test the hand brake function on an incline, and confirm that the brake pipes have not continued to corrode since the December 2025 test, given the clear upward trend in corrosion-related advisories.
