2014 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · EK14 KXS

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 12 March 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories over several years. While there are two instances of immediate failures followed by passes on the same or next day, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative or trivial issues. From a mechanical standpoint, the vehicle presents as a well-maintained example with no recurring structural or mechanical failures on record. With a recorded mileage of 47,898 miles over approximately twelve years, this Peugeot 107 has been used sparingly, averaging roughly 3,992 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often introduces a different set of risks associated with under-use. Vehicles that spend long periods stationary are more prone to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of moisture in the braking and exhaust systems. Given the clean MOT history and low annual mileage, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear and tear. You must closely examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres often expire due to age before the tread is worn down. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, and during the test drive, listen for any sticking or binding calipers that may have resulted from prolonged standing. The 12V battery should be tested for health and cranking power, as low-usage vehicles often suffer from premature battery failure. Furthermore, verify the service history to ensure that oil and coolant changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Engine oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled, and old coolant can lead to internal corrosion. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for dryness or cracking, and check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody or sills, which can occur if the car was stored in a damp environment. A thorough check of the service book stamps will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained according to a calendar-based schedule, ensuring long-term mechanical reliability.
