2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DV60 VWF

The most recent MOT history for this 2010 Peugeot 107 shows a concerning pattern of repeated failures just before passing tests, with the vehicle failing twice in October 2025 and again in July 2024 despite no recorded defects on either occasion. The lack of specific advisories or defects—even minor ones—suggests either a test centre’s failure to identify critical issues or a deliberate attempt to bypass thorough inspection. The final pass in October 2025, just one mile beyond the previous failure, implies the vehicle was likely driven to the test station specifically to secure a pass without addressing underlying problems. This trend raises serious questions about the vehicle’s reliability, particularly in areas that typically fail silently or intermittently, such as brake binding, suspension wear, or electrical faults. The recorded mileage of 158,565 miles over 16 years aligns closely with average usage for this age, averaging around 9,900 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the abrupt failures suggest the vehicle may have been driven until the last possible moment before inspection. The consistency in mileage accumulation between tests—such as the 221 miles covered between the July 2024 failure and the October 2024 pass—does not indicate aggressive driving but rather a pattern of deferred maintenance. The absence of advisories in earlier tests also implies that any recurring issues, if they exist, were either not detected or not documented. Given the repeated failures without clear defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the braking system, particularly for binding calipers or seized components, as this is a common silent failure. The suspension should be closely examined for worn or leaking bushes, corroded coil springs, or excessive play in the steering rack, all of which could contribute to intermittent handling issues. Electrical faults, such as malfunctioning indicators, headlights, or dashboard warnings, should also be tested, as these are frequently overlooked in MOTs but can pose safety risks. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and rust penetration around wheel arches or the subframe, must be assessed, especially given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure to road salt and moisture. The lack of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee these areas are sound.
