2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DX13 XHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 112,901 miles, this followed a catastrophic failure just one mile prior. That failure highlighted a significant list of critical safety-related defects, including a worn track rod end, suspension arm ball joints missing split pins, and a damaged front brake hose. The presence of these high-priority faults suggests that the previous owner only addressed repairs when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 10,000 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 11,500 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2026. While the annual accumulation is typical for a city car, the consistent mileage has not prevented the progressive degradation of rubber components and metalwork, as evidenced by recurring corrosion across the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front sub-frame and rear axle components. The tester has flagged corrosion on these areas every year since 2024, and while currently described as not seriously weakened, the persistent nature of this rust indicates active oxidation. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the record shows multiple corroded brake pipes covered in grease dating back 2023, which is often an attempt to hide surface decay from inspectors. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the state of the steering rack and anti-roll bar linkages, as these were identified as worn or failing in the latest 2026 entries.
