2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · KM59 OCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding corrosion and brake component degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 32,068 miles passed, the tester identified significant pitting on both front brake discs and corrosion on the subframe structure. The failure in November 2024 due to binding rear service brakes and corroded brake pipes indicates that the braking system is prone to neglect or age-related decay despite the low mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 32,068 miles represents an average of only under 1,900 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent with the recurring issues found in the record, such as perishing on tyres noted in 2022 and 2023. Vehicles that sit for long periods or are driven infrequently in damp environments often suffer from oxidation of metal components and the hardening of rubber seals, which explains the presence of perished brake pipes and worn anti-roll bar bushes rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the subframe to determine if the corrosion noted in 2025 has progressed beyond a minor advisory. The recurring presence of corroded brake pipes and perished tyres suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when they threatened MOT compliance rather than performing preventative maintenance. Furthermore, the front brake discs should be checked for thickness and surface pitting, and the rear drum mechanism must be tested to ensure the binding issues from the 2024 failure have been fully rectified.
