2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · CK60 GCY

Recurring suspension and braking system failures characterize the mechanical history of this Peugeot 107, which most recently passed its MOT on 3 December 2025 following a failure for dangerous tyre defects. While the vehicle has successfully navigated its annual inspections, the record shows a pattern of significant component degradation, particularly regarding the front anti-roll bar linkages and braking hardware. The transition from clean passes to dangerous failure notifications in consecutive years indicates that wear items on this vehicle are reaching their functional limits, necessitating a close inspection of the chassis and running gear during any prospective purchase. Accumulating 107,381 miles over sixteen years results in an average of approximately 6,711 miles annually, a figure consistent with standard usage for a city car of this vintage. There are no notable gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than experiencing extended periods of storage. This consistent usage profile means that while the drivetrain has been kept active, the high mileage relative to the vehicle's small-displacement engine and lightweight chassis components has likely accelerated the fatigue of suspension bushes, wheel bearings, and structural mounting points. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough examination of the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and associated bushings, as these have been flagged for failure on multiple occasions. During a test drive, listen carefully for metallic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces, which would indicate renewed play in these linkages. Furthermore, the previous advisories regarding rear wheel distortion and rear axle corrosion warrant a physical inspection of the wheels for buckled rims and a check of the rear undercarriage for structural surface rust. Any vibration felt through the steering wheel at speed could be symptomatic of the previously noted wheel rim damage. The braking system requires particular attention given the history of worn pads and parking brake adjustment issues. Ensure the handbrake holds the vehicle firmly on an incline and check that the pedal feel is firm and progressive without excessive travel or judder, which could signal warped discs or binding calipers. Because the vehicle has required urgent intervention for tyre condition and brake pad thickness in recent tests, verify the current condition of all four tyres and brake friction surfaces. Confirm that the front lamps are fully operational, as electrical faults have previously contributed to test failures, and ensure the CV joint boots are free of splits to prevent premature failure of the drive shaft joints.
