2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · FT10 HLA

The most recent MOT on 9 October 2024 recorded a failure for the engine MIL indicator, identified corrosion on the off‑side brake pipe, and noted an inoperative rear registration lamp. The engine warning alone renders the vehicle non‑road‑worthy until the fault is rectified, and the combination of brake‑system corrosion and lighting defect points to a deterioration in overall maintenance. The trend is therefore worsening, with serious electronic and safety‑related items emerging after a period of relatively minor advisories. Mileage has risen from 108,320 mi in October 2021 to 120,929 mi at the latest test, an average increase of roughly 4,200 mi per year. Over sixteen years this equates to about 7,500 mi annually, which sits within normal usage for a private‑owner vehicle. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or long gaps, suggesting steady, moderate use rather than periods of heavy short‑term loading or prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should verify that the engine MIL fault has been resolved and that the brake pipe corrosion has been treated, inspecting both the pipe and surrounding fittings for any lingering rust or leaks. The rear registration lamp must be functional, and the condition of the brake pads and discs should be checked for wear or binding, especially given the earlier advisory on thin front pads. Tyre inspection is essential: the record shows cracked and perished rear tyres in 2022 and a slightly damaged rear tyre in 2023, so all four tyres should be examined for tread depth, sidewall integrity, and any punctures. The rear suspension mounting area has repeatedly been flagged for corrosion; visual assessment of the sub‑frame, bushings, and coil springs for rust or structural degradation is advisable. Finally, a quick emissions check will confirm that the engine warning light is no longer illuminated and that exhaust output meets legal standards.
