2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GU11 OCA

The 2011 Peugeot 107 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 27 February 2026 at 42,845 miles. The most recent test recorded only minor advisories for both front tyres wearing close to the legal limit, a routine consumable issue rather than a mechanical concern. This outcome marks a notable improvement over the preceding years, where suspension components drew repeated advisories. The record suggests the previous owner addressed the worn bushes and anti-roll bar components flagged in 2024, as no related defects reappeared in the 2026 submission. The mileage profile tells a story of very light use. Covering just 6,301 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, the annualised rate sits well below the vehicle's lifetime average of roughly 2,856 miles per year. The jump from 30,819 miles in February 2024 to 36,544 miles in February 2025 represents a single-year increase of 5,725 miles, the largest gap in the record. Before that, the car covered only 8,883 miles across the entire two-year span from January 2023 to February 2025. Such irregular accumulation patterns can point to periods of prolonged standing, which carries its own risks including perished tyres, seized brakes, and dried-out rubber bushes. The 2022 and 2024 tests both flagged worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar mounting points, classic symptoms of a city car that has spent its life on rough urban surfaces. Although these items did not reappear in the 2026 record, a buyer should physically inspect the front lower suspension arms, rear suspension bushes, and anti-roll bar links for play or deterioration. The rear tyre cracking noted in 2022 at just 15,171 miles was an early warning of age-related perishing, and the current advisories on both front tyres suggest the rubber across the set is approaching the end of its service life. Check all four sidewalls for cracking, particularly if the car has sat unused for extended periods. Beyond the suspension history, the low-mileage pattern demands attention to components that deteriorate with age rather than use. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, examine brake discs and calipers for surface rust or binding, and verify that the brake fluid is fresh. A car covering fewer than 3,000 miles annually accumulates moisture in its fluid and oil, so a full fluid change should be considered regardless of service intervals. The structural integrity of the underbody also warrants a close look, as long periods of standing on damp ground can accelerate corrosion in floor pans and sills, even on a vehicle with such modest mileage.
