2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GJ09 VXK

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by recurring mechanical and structural defects. While the June 2025 test at 94,760 miles resulted in a pass, the record reveals a failure just one week prior on 31 May 2025. The tester flagged several significant issues during that failure, including a loose offside rear road wheel fixing, a structural tear in the offside rear tyre, and a damaged obligatory mirror. The most recent pass still carries multiple advisories, including a minor exhaust leak, defective exhaust mountings, a corroded nearside rear brake pipe, and pitted front brake discs. The mileage profile indicates very low usage for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,574 miles per year. The data shows the car has covered only about 1,500 miles between the October 2020 test and the June 2025 test, suggesting long periods of inactivity. This pattern of low usage often correlates with the types of defects observed, such as perished tyres and pitted brake discs, which frequently result from vehicles standing for extended periods rather than heavy road use. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The nearside rear brake pipe has been flagged for corrosion since at least June 2023, and the fact that this remains an advisory in June 2025 suggests the issue has not been fully rectified. The recurring reports of minor exhaust leaks and defective mountings since June 2023 indicate a persistent issue with the exhaust system that requires professional attention to prevent worsening leaks or structural failure. Further attention should be directed toward the suspension and tyre condition. The history of pitted brake discs and perishing tyres suggests that consumables are being neglected or are failing due to age rather than mileage. Given the recurring advisories regarding brake components and the previous failure involving a loose wheel fixing, a physical inspection of the wheel hubs, fasteners, and overall chassis integrity is essential to ensure no deeper corrosion is present.
