2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · CY12 ADY

The 2012 Peugeot 107 has maintained a clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories up to the most recent inspection on 26 August 2025. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or progressive wear issues being overlooked. The vehicle’s compliance with all mandatory checks—including brakes, suspension, steering, lights, and emissions—indicates that previous owners have adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing. The most recent test, conducted just over a year ago at 71,027 miles, confirms no outstanding issues, but the lack of advisory notes also means critical components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake caliper binding conditions were not specifically tested beyond pass/fail thresholds. The recorded mileage of 71,027 miles over 14 years—approximately 5,073 miles annually—falls well below the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage increments between tests are consistent, with roughly 6,500 to 7,000 miles accumulated between each MOT, indicating no sudden spikes that might imply aggressive driving or neglect. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests (around 1,581 miles) is the smallest, which could reflect either a temporary reduction in use or a deliberate effort to extend the MOT window. However, the overall pattern does not raise immediate concerns about excessive wear, though the low mileage does not guarantee the absence of corrosion or deferred maintenance in areas like underbody panels or wheel arches. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that often fall outside the scope of advisory notes. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of dry rot or excessive play, as these are critical for ride quality and handling but not always flagged unless they fail outright. The brake system, while never failing in tests, warrants scrutiny for uneven disc wear, caliper binding, or corrosion on the brake lines, especially given the vehicle’s age. Underbody corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, should be checked for structural integrity, as rust can compromise the chassis even if the MOT tester did not note advisories. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust emissions system, as older vehicles are prone to catalytic converter clogging or leaky components, which may not always trigger a fail but can impact performance.
