2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · GV58 GGA

A pattern of persistent but minor advisories defines the mechanical narrative of this 2009 Peugeot 107. The vehicle has passed every recorded DVSA test since 2022, with the most recent examination on 23 January 2026 returning a clean pass alongside two advisories relating to the front brake discs and the nearside front tyre. The front brake disc advisory first appeared in the 2025 test and has reappeared at the 2026 examination, indicating a progressive wear condition that, while not yet at failure threshold, is following a deteriorating trajectory. Tyre-related advisories for cracking and perishing have also been a recurring theme since that year, affecting the nearside front in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with an additional offside rear advisory noted in 2024. The overall trend is one of stable roadworthiness at the pass/fail level, but with chronic, low-level deterioration on rolling components and consumables that warrants close attention from any prospective buyer. With 52,529 miles recorded against a 2009 manufacture date, this Peugeot 107 has covered approximately 3,090 miles annually, a notably low accumulation rate for a vehicle of its age. This figure suggests either periods of light use interspersed with longer standing intervals, or a consistent pattern of restricted mileage driving such as short urban journeys. Mechanically, low-mileage examples of the 107 can be susceptible to issues arising from infrequent use, particularly around brake disc corrosion, tyre sidewall deterioration from prolonged static exposure, and potential fluid degradation within the braking system. The absence of any testing gaps across the recorded MOT history indicates continuous road use and SORN compliance, with no evidence of multi-year lay-ups that would typically flag deeper concerns around seized components or structural deterioration. Given the recurring advisories for the front brake discs, a physical inspection of both front discs is essential before purchase. Look for visible ridging around the outer edge, deep scoring across the friction surface, and any signs of lipping that could indicate the discs are approaching the minimum thickness specification. On a test drive, listen for brake squeal or grinding under light application, and feel for any vibration or judder through the steering wheel during moderate braking, as these are classic symptoms of worn or corroded front discs. Examine the discs visually for rust pitting concentrated across the swept area, which on a low-mileage urban car often presents as surface corrosion rather than the polished wear pattern seen on higher-mileage motorway-driven examples. If the discs show significant ridging or the symptoms above are present, budgeting for replacement alongside new pads is advisable, as the wear pattern has now been flagged across two consecutive tests. The persistent nearside front tyre advisory for cracking and perishing is consistent with the age-related degradation of the rubber compound, particularly given the vehicle's low annual mileage where tyres can deteriorate from environmental exposure rather than wear. Inspect the nearside front tyre in detail for sidewall cracks, particularly in the flex zones between the tread and the wheel rim, and check the tread depth across the full width to confirm even wear. Given that an offside rear tyre was also flagged in 2024, all four tyres should be examined for similar perishing regardless of which axle they sit on, as rubber degradation affects the entire set uniformly. During a test drive, pay attention to any pulling to one side under braking or excessive road noise from the front axle, which could indicate uneven tyre wear or compromised sidewall integrity. Replacement of all four tyres is likely due imminently, and fitting a matched set of quality items will be necessary to ensure ongoing roadworthiness for the next MOT cycle.
