2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GL57 YJB

The 2008 Peugeot 107 presents a stable and currently clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 5 August 2025 at 102,851 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks a significant improvement over the preceding tests, which consistently flagged multiple items. The maintenance trend is clearly resolving, as the vehicle moved from a failure in November 2024 to a fully clean bill of health less than nine months later, suggesting a recent round of corrective work addressed the accumulated advisories. The mileage pattern tells a story of very light use. At roughly 5,714 miles per year, this is substantially below the UK average. The record shows a gap of approximately 5,284 miles between the October 2023 test at 93,921 miles and the November 2024 test at 99,204 miles, indicating about a year's worth of gentle driving. The current reading of 102,851 miles is the highest on record, with only 3,646 miles added since the November 2024 test. Such low annual accumulation raises the possibility of long periods of standing, which can cause its own issues including flat-spotted tyres, seized brake components, and fuel system stagnation, despite the low overall wear. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and braking system. Corroded rear brake pipes appeared as advisories in three consecutive tests from October 2023 through November 2024, all noted as corroded and covered in grease or other material. While the August 2025 test cleared these, the prior pattern suggests the corrosion may have been managed cosmetically rather than through full pipe replacement. Inspect the rear brake lines carefully for genuine structural integrity, not just surface treatment. Front brake discs and pads were flagged as worn and pitted across multiple tests, indicating a history of deferred brake servicing. Check disc thickness and scoring depth personally rather than relying solely on the recent pass. The exhaust system also warrants close attention. Minor exhaust leaks appeared in four out of the last five tests, shifting from the central section in October 2023 to the rear section in October 2022 and November 2024. A fresh pass in August 2025 suggests a repair was carried out, but the recurring nature of these leaks across different sections points to a system that has suffered from general corrosion rather than a single isolated failure. Have the full exhaust inspected for patch repairs and check mounting points for rust jacking. Given the vehicle's age and the history of corrosion-related advisories, a thorough underside inspection on a ramp is strongly recommended before purchase.
