2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · EX09 FGA

The 2009 Peugeot 107 presents a broadly stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 13 January 2026 at 96,247 miles resulting in a pass. That test did, however, flag binding on both the nearside and rear service brakes, noted as not excessive under item 1.2.1 (f). A binding caliper or seized slider pin on the rear axle is a recurring theme here, having appeared in the January 2024 test at 88,291 miles as well. The fault did not prevent a pass on either occasion, but its reappearance within two years suggests the issue was managed rather than permanently rectified. The 2025 test at 92,719 miles was clean on the same day a separate failure was recorded for a split offside CV boot, which was evidently repaired promptly. Overall, the vehicle has been kept roadworthy, yet the repeated brake advisory points to a minor unresolved drag that warrants closer inspection. At roughly 5,662 miles per year, this 17-year-old city car has covered exceptionally low mileage. The record shows steady but gentle accumulation: 83,986 miles in January 2023, 88,291 in January 2024, 92,719 in January 2025, and 96,247 in January 2026, averaging around 3,500 to 4,300 miles annually in recent years. There are no alarming gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer, and the mileage progression is consistent with light urban use rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT history itself is sparse, with only five entries spanning four years, which is typical for a low-mileage vehicle tested annually. The data is clean in terms of mileage anomalies, but the limited record means a buyer cannot rely solely on the MOT to confirm long-term mechanical care. Prospective buyers should focus on the rear braking system during any in-person inspection. Repeated binding suggests a sticking caliper piston, corroded slider pins, or a handbrake mechanism that is not fully releasing. A dragging rear brake will generate excessive heat on the disc and pad, accelerate wear, and can cause uneven braking or pull. The front tyres were flagged in January 2023 at 83,986 miles for worn edges, indicating possible tracking issues or simply neglected rotation, so a fresh tyre and alignment check is advisable. The split CV boot from 2025 was replaced, but the joint itself should be examined for play or clicking under full lock, as a contaminated joint can fail prematurely. Given the car's age and low mileage, also inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounts, subframe, and brake lines, and check that all rubber bushes and gaiters remain intact despite limited use.
