2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GU58 UAM

The 2008 Peugeot 107 presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 10 October 2025 at 63,910 miles, passed with zero defects. This outcome is not an isolated result. The vehicle has passed every single test since at least October 2022, with no advisories or failures recorded across five consecutive annual inspections. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable, indicating a vehicle that has been kept within acceptable mechanical and structural tolerances by its keeper. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2022 test at 50,742 miles and the October 2025 test at 63,910 miles, the car covered just 13,168 miles over three years, averaging roughly 4,389 miles annually. The earlier record shows a similar trajectory, with 4,083 miles added between October 2023 and October 2024. This is well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. Such low usage can imply extended periods of standing, which carries its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and stale fuel system issues, despite the clean test outcomes. A clean MOT record does not eliminate the need for a thorough physical inspection. The 107 is a compact city car, and its age means that rubber suspension bushes, dust boots, and exhaust mounting points should be checked for perishing and deterioration, regardless of test results. The rear brake assemblies on these models are prone to sticking sliders and binding calipers, a defect that can develop between annual tests. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion to the floor pan, sills, and subframes, particularly if the vehicle has been stored or used infrequently in damp conditions. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the condition of the tyres and battery. Low-mileage vehicles often sit for extended periods, leading to sidewall cracking and uneven tread wear that may not yet fail an MOT but compromises wet-weather grip. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine should be cold-started to check for timing chain rattle or excessive smoke on acceleration. While the official record is exemplary, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on these age-related and usage-specific items remains essential.
