2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DE11 HBA

Recurring suspension wear and ongoing corrosion issues define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, with the most recent MOT on 14 April 2026 showing a pass following a failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing pattern, there is a clear trend of developing advisories related to the front end, specifically concerning the anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes. This follows a period in 2025 where more significant structural and braking concerns were noted, including sub-frame corrosion and a corroded nearside rear brake pipe, suggesting that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, it is subject to progressive wear in its chassis and suspension components. The recorded mileage of 109,390 miles over approximately 15 years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,293 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a small city car and indicates a steady rate of wear rather than extreme high-speed motorway use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this level of mileage is consistent with the observed degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and the gradual corrosion of brake lines and sub-frames, which are common as vehicles age through regular, moderate use. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension during a test drive to address the repeated advisories regarding anti-roll bar linkage pins, bushes, and suspension arm pins. Listen for knocking, clunking, or rattling noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these symptoms often coincide with the worn bushes and linkages flagged in the 2024 and 2026 tests. Additionally, the history of sub-frame corrosion and corroded brake pipes necessitates a thorough visual inspection of the underside. Any signs of significant structural decay or weeping from the brake lines should be investigated, as the 2025 record specifically highlighted corrosion on the front sub-frame and the nearside rear brake pipe. Further attention should be directed toward the braking system and tyres. The 2025 record noted thinning front brake pads, and the 2022 failure for structural tyre damage indicates that tyre condition has been a critical safety point in the past. During the test drive, check for any pedal judder or uneven braking performance which could relate to the previously noted brake component wear. While the 2026 test did not flag immediate tyre failures, the history of edge wear and perishing in 2024 suggests that the tread depth and sidewall integrity of the current tyres should be verified against legal and safety standards.
