2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · KP62 NHY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 87,751 miles, the record shows a recurring pattern of failing on preventable mechanical and consumable items. The transition from a clean pass in 2025 to multiple failures in early 2026 suggests that the owner only addresses defects once they result in an official test failure. At 14 years old with 87,751 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which is consistent with a low-use city car profile. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the May 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,000 miles before the April 2026 test. This low annual mileage is generally consistent but often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perished tyres and deteriorated dust covers noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly. The April 2026 failure flagged both front ball joint dust covers as severely deteriorated, and the 2025 failure identified a torn CV boot on the nearside prop shaft. These issues indicate that rubber seals are failing across the drivetrain, which leads to premature joint wear. The minor exhaust leak recorded in the latest test also suggests the exhaust system or manifold is beginning to corrode, requiring immediate monitoring to prevent further emissions issues or increased noise levels. The tyres represent another specific area of concern. The 2026 record shows the offside front tyre at the 3mm limit with signs of cracking and perishing on both front tyres. Given that the 2024 test also showed tyres at 2mm, the rubber compound is likely reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. An in-person inspection should also check the underbody for significant structural corrosion, which is common in vehicles of this age and mileage bracket despite not being highlighted in the recent advisories.
