2014 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · DX14 VJM

The 2014 Peugeot 107 presents a roadworthiness record devoid of any advisories or categorised defects across five documented MOT events, the most recent being a clean pass on 30 January 2026. The dual entries on 18 February 2025, comprising both a failure and a pass, suggest an immediate retest on the same day following what was evidently a minor, quickly rectified issue that did not generate a recorded defect. While a failure with no defects logged can occasionally indicate a tester-applied refusal rather than a mechanical defect, the overall pattern indicates no chronic or recurring mechanical concerns have been identified at any test point. The vehicle therefore demonstrates a stable and consistent record of roadworthiness compliance over its testing life, with no deteriorating trend observable in the available data. Against an age of twelve years, the recorded 67,872 miles equates to a cumulative annual accumulation of approximately 5,656 miles, which sits well below the typical mileage trajectory for a vehicle of this class and vintage. This lower-than-average usage profile suggests the car has seen either predominantly short urban journeys, periods of inactivity, or a combination of both. Mechanically, such low mileage on a small city-oriented powertrain reduces wear expectations on major drivetrain and engine internals, though it warrants particular attention to items that degrade with age rather than use, including rubber components, coolant hoses, brake hydraulic seals, and the condition of any underbody structural steel. Given the absence of any advisories relating to corrosion or component deterioration in the MOT history, the testing record does not flag any such issues, but the age of the vehicle means a physical inspection of these time-sensitive items is essential. For a prospective buyer, the lack of any advisory history means there are no specific flagged components to target for inspection beyond the standard expectations for a 2014-era vehicle approaching its teenage years. The test drive should nonetheless focus on symptoms associated with age-related wear that would not necessarily have generated an MOT failure at this mileage, such as clutch slip or judder under load in lower gears, any hesitation or uneven running that could indicate injector or idle control issues common to small Peugeot and Toyota-sourced three-cylinder engines, and steering vagueness that might point to worn rack mounts or track rod ends. Pay close attention to the operation of the five-speed manual gearbox, hunting for synchromesh wear on second and third gears, and listen for any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which would suggest tired bushes or top mount deterioration despite the clean test history. Brake feel and stopping performance also merit close evaluation, as the clean advisory record offers no specific insight into pad or disc wear rates on this particular car. The pedal should feel firm and progressive without excessive travel, and any judder under braking could indicate warped front discs, a known issue on smaller vehicles used predominantly for stop-start urban duty. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion, particularly around the rear axle beam and suspension mounting points, and check the exhaust system for signs of hanger failure or heat shield deterioration, items that an MOT may have missed if the corrosion was not yet at a failure threshold. Finally, verify the operation of all external lighting, the central locking, and the electric windows, as electrical gremlins on ageing Peugeot 107s are not uncommon and would not necessarily appear in the MOT data.
