2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · FG07 PCU

A pattern of recurring electrical failures and a recent increase in mechanical advisories define this vehicle's roadworthiness history. While it achieved a pass on 13 March 2024, the record shows a consistent trend of failures related to lighting, the supplementary restraint system, and engine management lamps. The most recent inspection shifted from these electrical issues toward more systemic mechanical wear, flagging multiple concerns across the braking, exhaust, and suspension systems. The recorded mileage of 150,773 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,935 miles per year. This level of usage indicates consistent road use rather than long periods of standing, which typically results in accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking consumables. The steady accumulation of miles suggests that the mechanical advisories noted in recent tests are likely a result of age-related degradation of rubber and metal components. Immediate attention is required for the items flagged in the latest inspection, specifically the corroded brake pipes and the oil leak, which has been a recurring advisory since 2021. During a physical inspection, check for visible oil misting around the engine block and signs of heavy corrosion on the brake lines. The reported play in the nearside front wheel bearing should be investigated; listen for a rhythmic humming or droning noise that increases with vehicle speed during the test drive. The exhaust system has a recorded leak, which may manifest as an audible hiss or drone under acceleration. Additionally, the damaged dust cover on the front track rod end ball joint should be checked to ensure no grit has entered the joint, which would lead to premature failure. Given the history of SRS and engine management lamp failures, ensure all dashboard warning lights illuminate during the bulb check and extinguish immediately upon starting the engine to confirm no active faults remain.
