2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · FT10 HLD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 88,678 miles, but this followed an initial failure on the same day for a misaligned offside headlamp and excessively worn front inner suspension arm bushes on both sides. This pattern of a defect being rectified between tests is noted, yet the recurrence of worn suspension bushes—after no such advisory in the prior November 2024 test—indicates a worsening trend in critical steering and suspension components. The history further reveals a serious structural concern with an excessively corroded offside rear brake pipe in November 2024, alongside persistent tyre issues including damage and uneven wear, suggesting inconsistent or inadequate maintenance despite the low annual mileage. Mileage accumulation is notably light at approximately 5,542 miles per year over the vehicle's lifespan, with recorded intervals showing periods of very limited use. For instance, between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, the car covered only 1,639 miles, and from November 2024 to December 2025, a further 1,845 miles. This sparse usage likely contributes to the observed corrosion on brake components and perishing of rear tyres, as prolonged inactivity accelerates rubber degradation and allows moisture to affect metal parts. The data does not suggest high-mileage wear but rather points to deterioration from lack of regular use and potentially deferred repairs. A buyer must prioritise a thorough in-person inspection of the front suspension, specifically the inner arm bushes on both sides, as their recent failure indicates significant wear that compromises handling and safety. The corroded brake pipe, though passed after repair, warrants close examination for any remaining weak points or adjacent rust, given the critical nature of the braking system. Additionally, the history of tyre damage, cracking, and edge wear necessitates checking current tyre condition, tread depth, and investigating the cause—likely poor alignment or infrequent rotation—which may have affected other suspension components. The headlamp aim should also be verified for correct adjustment.
