2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DA57 LWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 110,370 miles resulted in a pass following a failure on the same day. This failure was significant, involving high exhaust emissions, a missing front wheel fixing, and poor parking brake efficiency. While the car passed the subsequent inspection, the persistence of various advisories suggests the owner only addresses issues necessary to pass the MOT rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 110,370 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between September 2023 and 2024, and another 3,800 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low mileage explains the visible degradation of rubber components, such as tyres and suspension bushes, which suffer from age and environmental exposure rather than high stress. A buyer must closely inspect the suspension system, as the anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both axles and the rear axle swivel pins have been flagged as worn across three consecutive years. These components are likely beginning to produce knocking noises and affect handling if not replaced. The persistent oil leak noted since at least 2024 also requires a physical inspection to determine if it is a minor seal weeping or a more significant gasket failure requiring attention. The braking system also warrants scrutiny due to the 2024 failure for insufficient parking brake efficiency and reports of pitted front brake discs. Given that the 2025 failure for carbon monoxide levels indicates the engine may be burning fuel incompletely, a diagnostic check of the engine management system is advisable to ensure the combustion system is functioning correctly. The offside front tyre was on the legal limit in the last test and likely requires immediate replacement to ensure safety.
