2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · EO09 SAM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 20 February 2026, though it carries an advisory regarding front brake discs that are worn, pitted, or scored. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable. Following a significant failure in 2021 involving tyres and suspension components, the car enjoyed several years of clean passes. The reappearance of brake-related advisories suggests the vehicle is now entering a cycle of routine wear-and-tear maintenance typical for its age. With a recorded mileage of 56,095 miles over approximately 15 years, the vehicle has averaged only 3,740 miles per year. This is considerably lower than the national average and indicates a life of light urban use or extended periods of standing. While this results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, low-usage vehicles are often more susceptible to degradation of rubber components and corrosion of braking surfaces due to inactivity. During a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the braking system. The current advisory for pitted and scored discs often stems from surface corrosion during periods of disuse; the buyer should feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal or steering wheel during deceleration. Additionally, while the anti-roll bar linkage issues from 2021 were resolved, the buyer should listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps to ensure the replacement components remain in good condition. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection must focus on age-related perishing. The buyer should examine all tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or ozone degradation, as tyres can become unsafe due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. It is essential to verify the service history for calendar-based oil and filter changes, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of mileage. Finally, the buyer should check for binding brake calipers and inspect the brake hose ferrules for corrosion, while ensuring the 12V battery holds a strong charge, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from premature battery failure.
