2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · FH11 AUT

The maintenance trend for this 2011 Peugeot 107 is worsening, culminating in a reactive repair pattern evident in the July 2025 test records. On 2025-07-16 at 70,915 miles, the vehicle initially failed due to an excessively worn Offside Front suspension arm pin or bush and seriously defective headlamp lenses on both sides. A pass was issued later that same day, indicating the defects were hastily rectified. This cycle of failing and immediately passing suggests the previous owner addressed only the bare minimum to clear the MOT rather than maintaining the car proactively. Accumulating 70,915 miles over fifteen years equates to roughly 4,728 miles annually, a notably low figure that points to light usage or prolonged periods of standing. The mileage progression remains steady but sparse, moving from 58,926 miles in July 2022 to 64,654 miles in July 2023, then to 66,453 miles in June 2024, and finally reaching 70,915 miles in July 2025. The 4,462-mile increase between mid-2024 and mid-2025 represents a significant spike compared to the prior 1,799-mile annual average, hinting at a sudden change in ownership or usage pattern. A physical inspection must prioritise the front suspension and lighting components, given their recurring presence on the record. The headlamp lenses degraded from slightly defective in June 2024 to seriously defective by July 2025, a rapid decline that implies severe UV degradation or cheap replacement parts. The suspension bushes demand close scrutiny; the Offside Front bush wore excessively while the Nearside Front remains worn but not excessive, indicating uneven loading or a developing fault that will likely require imminent arm replacement. Buyers should thoroughly examine the exhaust system and braking components for underlying deterioration. The rear exhaust has emitted minor gas leaks across both the 2025 pass and fail, a persistent advisory that signals a failing gasket, corroded silencer, or loose joint. Front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, and scored in July 2023 at 64,654 miles. Having covered roughly 6,300 miles since that advisory, the discs may now be dangerously thin or subject to severe lipping, requiring measurement of their thickness and inspection for structural integrity before purchase.
