2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DF12 YFC

A consistently clean roadworthiness record defines this 2012 Peugeot 107, with five consecutive MOT passes stretching back to 2021 and the most recent test on 23 October 2025 returning a pass with no advisories or defects recorded. The absence of any flagged items across five years of testing indicates no chronic wear patterns, structural deterioration, or component failures have been identified by DVSA examiners during routine inspection. Given the vehicle's age of fourteen years, this unbroken sequence of clean passes is a reassuring mechanical signal, suggesting that the fundamental safety-critical systems including braking, suspension, lighting, and exhaust integrity have remained within prescribed tolerances. The recorded mileage of 20,749 miles against a fourteen-year registration equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 1,482 miles, which is notably low for a city-oriented vehicle of this type. There are no discernible gaps in the testing history, with annual tests consistently recorded from 2021 onwards, indicating the car has been in regular use rather than left dormant. Low-mileage examples of this Peugeot 107 platform, while sparing on major drivetrain wear, can present their own mechanical considerations; components such as brake discs and calipers can suffer from surface corrosion through infrequent use, and rubber elements including suspension bushes, engine and gearbox mountings, and drive belt materials can deteriorate through age rather than mileage accumulation. From a buyer inspection perspective, particular attention should be directed towards the braking system during a test drive. Given the modest annual mileage, surface corrosion on the brake discs is a likely finding, and any pronounced vibration through the brake pedal or steering wheel under light to moderate application would suggest the component has corroded beyond acceptable tolerances and requires replacement. A standing start followed by firm braking should produce a straight, stable stop without pulling to either side, which would indicate seized or binding caliper slide pins. Underfoot, the pedal should feel firm and progressive without excessive travel or sponginess. The suspension and steering should also be evaluated carefully, as the vehicle's light weight and compact dimensions can mask worn components. Listen for any clonks, knocks, or creaks from the front end when traversing speed humps, potholes, or uneven road surfaces, as these symptoms commonly point to worn anti-roll bar drop links, top mounts, or strut bearings rather than coil spring failure at this age. Steering response should remain direct and free of excess play around the straight-ahead position, and any binding, notching, or uneven self-centring behaviour on full lock lock-out manoeuvres should be investigated. Finally, with the engine running from cold, observe the exhaust for excessive smoke or visible oil misting around the cam cover and sump area, as rubber sealing components on a low-mileage, intermittently used vehicle can harden and weep over extended service intervals.
