2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · KX06 TXT

A clean MOT history with no advisories or component defects across the recorded tests presents a reassuring picture of roadworthiness for this 2006 Peugeot 107. The most recent test on 27 November 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the outcome of the earlier pass on 30 November 2023 and 31 October 2022. The two intervening failures, dated 26 November 2024 and 29 November 2023, both show no defects recorded, which strongly suggests these were administrative refusals or retests issued for documentation or category reasons rather than mechanical shortcomings. Across three years of testing there is no evidence of recurring brake, suspension, corrosion, or exhaust issues, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met minimum roadworthiness standards. At roughly 5,298 miles per year over a twenty-year lifespan, this Peugeot 107 is a notably low-mileage example, accumulating less than half the annual mileage typical for its cohort. The MOT record shows consistent annual testing without multi-year gaps, so the low figure does not appear to reflect long periods off the road, but rather genuinely light usage patterns. Mechanically, low annual mileage of this nature tends to preserve the engine internals, clutch, and gearbox by reducing wear on bearings and synchros, though it can accelerate deterioration of rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mountings, and flexible brake hoses that perish from age rather than use. Brake discs and pads may also exhibit surface corrosion from infrequent operation, particularly on the rear drums common to this model. Given the absence of any recorded advisories, a prospective buyer has limited specific defect areas to investigate, but should still conduct a thorough physical inspection and test drive. On the road, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over bumps, which would indicate worn bushes or drop links, and pay particular attention to steering precision, as vague wandering points to worn rack mounts or ball joints. Check the brakes for firm pedal feel without sponginess and listen for any binding or scraping from the rear drums when releasing the handbrake, as seized rear mechanisms are common on low-use city cars of this era. Inspect the underside and wheel arches carefully for any rust forming on the subframe, suspension arms, or sill seams, as the clean MOT record does not preclude early-stage surface corrosion developing between tests. Examine all rubber components including the timing chain tensioner area, coolant hoses, and the flexible sections of brake pipes for perishing or cracking. Verify that the engine starts promptly without excessive smoke and that the clutch engages smoothly without slipping or judder, given the low mileage may mask wear that only becomes apparent under load. Finally, confirm the condition of the tyres for even wear across the tread, as uneven patterns can reveal alignment or suspension geometry issues not yet severe enough to fail an MOT but indicative of underlying wear.
