2014 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · CX14 MKC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 February 2026, although it should be noted that this pass followed an earlier failed assessment on the same date, with the failure directly attributable to a dangerous defect concerning tears and structural separation on both front tyres, alongside advisory items relating to rear tyre perishing, front brake disc wear, an offside front coil spring exhibiting corrosion, slight corrosion on the front subframe, and deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkage bushes on both front corners. When reviewing the broader MOT history, the maintenance trend cannot be described as improving; instead, there is a clear and progressive pattern of accumulating advisories, particularly across the front brake discs, front tyres, front suspension bushes, and the exhaust and underbody areas, with corrosion-related advisories appearing from 2023 onwards and increasing in both number and severity with each annual test. This trajectory suggests a vehicle that is gradually developing age-related deterioration in both its consumable and structural components, and a prospective buyer should be prepared for a programme of refreshing work rather than a turnkey purchase. The recorded mileage of 11,309 miles over approximately twelve years equates to an annual usage of around 942 miles, which is exceptionally low and indicative of a vehicle that has either been used for only very short journeys or has spent considerable periods standing. Such low annual mileage carries its own set of mechanical implications that differ from those associated with high-mileage examples. Despite low wear on internal drivetrain components, prolonged standing tends to accelerate the degradation of rubber components, brake discs and pads through corrosion, and fluid systems through calendar-based deterioration, which aligns well with the recurring advisories for tyre perishing, brake disc pitting, and exhaust corrosion observed throughout the history. For a prospective buyer, the front brake disc pitting noted at the last two tests warrants a physical inspection of disc condition, as pitted surfaces can compromise braking efficiency and may progress to requiring disc replacement rather than just pad renewal, and a test drive should focus on detecting any brake shudder or uneven pull under application. The recurring advisories for front suspension components, including the coil spring corrosion and the worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes, should prompt a careful road test listening for clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces, particularly across speed humps and on full lock, as corrosion-weakened coil springs also present a risk of brittle fracture, while the noted subframe and underbody corrosion warrants an under-vehicle inspection on a ramp to assess structural integrity. Given the age of the vehicle and the pattern of advisories, the front and rear tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking and perishing, the exhaust system should be physically checked for corrosion weakness and blowing joints, and a thorough inspection of all fluid conditions and the 12V battery state of health is strongly recommended, as these are commonly degraded in low-mileage, intermittently used vehicles of this age.
