2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DN60 PBY

The most recent MOT test on July 29, 2025, confirms the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, though the preceding two tests—both in June 2025—resulted in failures without any specific faults logged. This pattern suggests an irregularity in the testing process rather than a mechanical trend, as no consistent issues were identified. The vehicle’s last successful test occurred just 17 days ago, placing it within the current MOT validity period (up to July 29, 2026). However, the repeated failures in June without explanations raise questions about whether the vehicle was simply retested after minor administrative or procedural oversights, or if critical components were overlooked during those inspections. The recorded mileage of 53,996 miles at the time of the last test indicates exceptionally low annual mileage—approximately 3,375 miles per year—over the past six years. This suggests the vehicle has seen minimal use, which could imply either careful storage or extended periods off the road. The gap between the 2024 test at 50,191 miles and the 2025 failures at 53,901 miles represents roughly 3,800 miles in under a year, a modest increase that does not indicate aggressive wear. However, low mileage alone does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which can degrade even with limited use due to age-related fatigue or neglect. Given the lack of specific faults in the MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items that are not routinely tested. The suspension system—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play, cracking, or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time stationary. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels should be assessed for signs of rust penetration, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the rear cargo area, where moisture accumulation is common. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee these areas are sound, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
