2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · CV12 XES

The Peugeot 107 presents a clean and stable MOT history over the past two years, with the most recent test on January 19, 2026 , at 43,239 miles showing no defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing inspections since February 22, 2024 , with no advisories or failures recorded in that period. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained within the MOT framework, though the lack of advisories could also indicate minimal proactive checks beyond legal requirements. The dual entry on January 27, 2025 ,—one pass and one fail at nearly identical mileages (35,280 and 35,279)—appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern, as no defects were logged in either case. The car’s mileage accumulation is unusually low for its age, averaging just 3,088 miles per year over its 14-year lifespan. This suggests either infrequent use, extended periods of storage, or a combination of both. The gap between the 2023 test (18,104 miles) and the 2024 test (27,634 miles) —a span of roughly 11 months—indicates a 9,530-mile increase , which is still modest compared to typical annual averages for a vehicle of this age. Without advisories or failures, there’s no evidence of deferred maintenance, but the low mileage does raise questions about whether certain wear items, such as suspension bushes or brake components, may have been neglected due to lack of use rather than proactive servicing. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components prone to silent degradation in low-mileage vehicles. Pay particular attention to the suspension geometry , including coil springs and bushings, which can weaken even with minimal movement. Check for binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear , as infrequent use can lead to moisture buildup and corrosion on brake hardware. The exhaust system should be examined for signs of rust or leaks, especially if the car has spent time in damp conditions. While the MOT history is reassuring, the lack of recorded advisories means there’s no official indication of past issues—so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s structural integrity and hidden wear.
