2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · KY58 ADV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 2025-06-18 at 98,093 miles, passed without any recorded defects, confirming it remains roadworthy for the time being. However, the pattern of back-to-back failures in June 2025—just two days apart—suggests either a procedural oversight in scheduling or an unusually tight turnaround for test centres, rather than a mechanical issue. The consistent passing of prior tests (2023, 2024) indicates no recurring faults have been formally documented, though the lack of advisories or defects in any entry means no wear or damage was flagged by the tester. This does not preclude hidden issues, but the absence of failures beyond the 2025 anomaly implies the vehicle has not exhibited obvious mechanical deterioration. The recorded mileage of 98,093 miles over 17 years—approximately 5,770 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests (around 7,000 miles in a year) aligns with this pattern, while the rapid accumulation of just 14 miles between the two 2025 tests is likely an administrative quirk rather than reflective of real-world wear. Such low mileage can mitigate some wear concerns, particularly with suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components, but it does not eliminate the need for inspection of areas prone to corrosion or neglect, such as underbody panels and wheel arches. Given the lack of documented faults, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension system, particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in vehicles with low mileage but prolonged standing. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, must also be scrutinised for corrosion, as rust can compromise the body’s load-bearing capacity without immediate MOT failure. Tyre tread depth, despite no failures, should be verified, as the repeated near-miss pattern in 2025 suggests basic maintenance may have been overlooked. Finally, the exhaust system warrants inspection for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are often the first to appear in vehicles with inconsistent servicing.
