2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GU06 LKA

The 2006 Peugeot 107 presents a mixed maintenance picture. Its most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 103,171 miles resulted in a pass, but only after an initial failure on the same day for incorrect headlamp aim on both fronts. This immediate retest pattern suggests the aim was corrected promptly, yet the presence of a persistent oil leak and a perishing nearside front tyre as advisories indicates minor fluid and cosmetic issues have been tolerated rather than resolved. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a pattern of deferred minor items rather than proactive renewal. The recorded mileage of 103,171 miles over approximately twenty years equates to roughly 5,159 miles per year, which is notably low. The annual tests in January 2024, 2025, and 2026 show consistent mileage accumulation of around 1,500 to 1,900 miles per year in recent use, with no significant gaps or sudden jumps. This steady, low-mileage pattern reduces concern over high-speed drivetrain wear but raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which can accelerate rubber deterioration and localised corrosion. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on components repeatedly flagged across the record. The nearside front tyre has shown cracking or perishing in both the January 2024 and January 2026 tests, suggesting either a recurring batch issue or a wheel alignment and suspension bush wear problem causing uneven sidewall stress. The oil leak noted in the 2026 test, while deemed not excessive, warrants a careful check of the engine and gearbox mounts and sump area for degraded gaskets. The 2025 failure for a binding nearside rear service brake and a severely deteriorated nearside outer CV boot points to potential sticking caliper slides or a handbrake mechanism issue that should be tested on a rolling road. Structural inspection of the rear brake backplates and the inner sills is prudent given the age and the history of brake-related advisories.
