2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · FN09 MME

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a total absence of recorded defects or advisories across its recent testing history. This stable trend is evidenced by the latest pass on 23 June 2025, indicating that the car has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical issues. While the records show failures on the same day as passes in 2024 and 2025, the lack of detailed defect entries suggests these were negligible or quickly rectified. The recorded mileage of 31,085 miles is exceptionally low for a seventeen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,829 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation suggests the car has spent long periods of inactivity or has been used exclusively for very short journeys. Mechanically, while the engine and gearbox have seen minimal wear, this usage profile increases the likelihood of degradation in components that rely on regular movement and heat cycles to remain supple and functional. Given the lack of specific MOT failures, the physical inspection should focus on the effects of prolonged inactivity. During the test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal feel to ensure there is no sticking or binding in the calipers, which is common in low-mileage city cars. Listen for any knocks or creaks from the suspension bushes and coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces, as rubber components can perish or harden over time regardless of the mileage covered. Check the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion, particularly around the subframe and suspension mounting points, as these areas are prone to rust in older vehicles. Ensure the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly and that there are no signs of oil misting or leaks around the gaskets, which can occur when seals dry out during long periods of standing. A thorough check of the tyre tread depth and side-wall condition is essential to ensure they remain safe for road use.
