2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · HG57 RNO

This 2007 Peugeot 107 presents a mixed but broadly stable maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 93,634 miles. The vehicle passed that test, though the tester flagged a slightly defective offside headlamp lens, an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, a corroded offside rear brake pipe, and a rear sub-frame noted as corroded but not seriously weakened. The day before, on 26 November 2025, the same car had failed with multiple lighting defects, two seriously damaged and misaligned offside rear valve stems, the same corroded brake pipe, and the same sub-frame corrosion advisory. The lighting and valve stem rectifications between the two passes suggest a last-minute scramble to clear the failure rather than a methodical service regime. The sub-frame corrosion advisory has persisted across consecutive years without escalation to a dangerous failure, which is encouraging, but the corroded brake pipe has appeared repeatedly and warrants close attention. The mileage progression tells a story of very light use. In the 2023 test on 17 November the odometer read 86,096 miles. By 16 November 2024 it had reached 89,730 miles, an increase of just 3,634 miles over twelve months. The jump to 93,634 miles by 27 November 2025 represents only 3,904 miles in the following year. Over its nineteen years the car has averaged roughly 4,928 miles annually, well below the typical UK annual figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles. The record shows no dramatic gaps or sudden spikes, which implies the vehicle has been in consistent but light use rather than sitting unused for extended periods. Low mileage helps preserve certain components, though it can mask deferred maintenance on time-sensitive items such as brake fluid, rubber hoses, and suspension bushes. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear sub-frame and brake pipework. The rear sub-frame corrosion advisory has appeared in both the November 2025 pass and the November 2025 failure, and the tester's wording in both instances, corroded but not seriously weakened, suggests surface corrosion that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Even so, a thorough underside inspection is essential to confirm there is no hidden perforation or section loss, particularly around mounting points where stress concentrates. The offside rear brake pipe has been flagged as corroded and covered in grease or other material in three separate tests spanning November 2023, November 2025, and the intervening failure. This recurring advisory points to a pipe that may be externally corroded beneath accumulated road grime, and a buyer should request the pipe be cleaned and inspected for pitting or wall thinning before committing to a purchase. The tyre wear pattern across multiple tests raises questions about wheel alignment, suspension geometry, or driving style. The offside front tyre appeared worn on the edge in November 2025, and both rear tyres were flagged as worn on the edge in both the 2024 and 2023 tests. Repeated edge wear on the same axle suggests possible toe misalignment or worn track rod end bushes, which aligns with the advisories for deteriorated track rod end ball joint dust covers noted in November 2023. A buyer should check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for uneven wear, inspect the track rod end boots for splits, and test for play in the steering linkage. The front brake pads were below 1.5 mm in the November 2024 failure, indicating that braking components have been running close to minimum tolerances at times, so disc condition and pad thickness should be verified directly.
