2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · KU07 GMD

Structural integrity and electrical reliability present the primary mechanical concerns for this Peugeot 107, given a history of recurring failures and progressive corrosion advisories. The most recent MOT test on 13 April 2026 resulted in a pass, but this followed a significant failure just five days earlier involving a fault with the supplementary restraint system warning lamp, an inoperative hazard warning switch, and an unsafe modification to a nearside front suspension drop link. The presence of a recurring advisory regarding a front subframe mounting repair covered in underseal, alongside previous notes of rear subframe corrosion and rear coil spring corrosion, indicates an ongoing pattern of structural oxidation that requires close monitoring. The vehicle has covered 98,639 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,192 miles per year. This represents a lower-than-average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage can reduce wear on certain drivetrain components, the MOT history shows that this pattern has not prevented the development of issues related to component degradation, such as pitted brake discs and corroded brake pipes. The usage pattern suggests the vehicle may spend significant periods stationary, which can be a factor in the observed corrosion on suspension elements and the reported oil leaks. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the underside of the vehicle during a test drive. The history of rear subframe and coil spring corrosion, combined with the recent undersealed front subframe mounting repair, necessitates a physical inspection for any signs of advancing structural decay or loose components. On the road, listen for knocking or clunking noises from the front or rear suspension, which could indicate that the previously flagged drop link issues or corroded springs are affecting the ride quality or stability. Additionally, the repeated advisories for an engine oil leak should be investigated; look for fresh oil traces on the engine block or dripping on the ground after the vehicle has been running. Electrical and braking systems also require scrutiny. The repeated failures regarding the supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp and the hazard warning switch suggest intermittent or persistent electrical faults that must be verified as fully rectified. During the test drive, ensure the dashboard warning lights behave correctly and that the hazard lights function without delay. Regarding the braking system, the history of a corroded nearside rear brake pipe and a pitted offside front brake disc means you should check for any pedal judder or a spongy feel when applying the brakes, which could indicate further deterioration of the hydraulic lines or uneven disc surfaces.
