2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · E28 SRC

The 2012 Peugeot 107 achieved a pass in its most recent MOT on 2026-04-23 at 107,306 miles, with the sole defect being an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. However, a prior failure on 2026-04-18 at 107,161 miles revealed a critical structural issue: the nearside outer seat belt anchorage showed significantly reduced strength in the prescribed area. This suggests a potential risk to occupant safety, though the subsequent pass indicates repairs were likely addressed. The trend shows a resolution of the structural defect but persistent tyre wear, which may reflect inconsistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,306 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 7,665 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 12-month interval between the 2025-04-26 pass (97,627 miles) and the 2024-05-17 tests (92,375 miles), which included a failure for a distorted nearside front wheel and inoperative registration plate lamp. The 2024-05-17 failure also cited an insufficient windscreen washer, though no follow-up test confirms resolution. These sporadic issues suggest intermittent attention to minor faults rather than systematic maintenance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the seat belt anchorage for structural integrity, as the 2026-04-18 failure highlights a critical safety concern. The recurring tyre wear, noted in multiple tests, warrants checking for alignment or suspension misalignment. Additionally, the 2024-05-17 distortion of the nearside front wheel and inoperative registration plate lamp indicate potential suspension bush wear or electrical faults. While the vehicle passed its latest test, the history underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection of brakes, tyres, and structural components.
