2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · FD12 OCS

The vehicle shows a history of recurring mechanical wear and deferred maintenance, despite its low annual mileage. In the most recent test in December 2025 at 68,396 miles, the tester identified corrosion on both the offside front and rear coil springs alongside worn front anti-roll bar linkages. This follows a pattern seen in November 2024 at 66,701 miles, where the same drop links and pitted front brake discs were noted as worn. While the car continues to pass, the persistent presence of corroded and worn components suggests that parts are only replaced when they approach failure limits rather than through preventative maintenance. At approximately 14 years old with 68,396 miles, the car has averaged fewer than 5,000 miles per year. However, this low-use profile has not prevented age-related degradation. The MOT record from May 2024 at 66,560 miles was particularly telling, revealing multiple failures including an inoperative hazard switch, an insecure headlamp, and significant corrosion on both front and rear brake pipes. The brake pipe corrosion is a long-standing issue, dating back to at least 2021, indicating that the hydraulic lines have been subject to environmental damage for several years without intervention. A prospective buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The recurring reports of corroded brake pipes represent a potential risk of sudden fluid loss if the lines have not been treated or replaced as suggested. Furthermore, the corrosion on the coil springs and the wear on the suspension arm bushes indicate that the undercarriage is nearing the end of its functional life for rubber and metal components. The deterioration of the registration plates across multiple tests also reflects a general lack of attention to cosmetic and minor upkeep by previous owners.
