2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · KY59 HDX

The most recent MOT inspection on 07 May 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Reviewing the testing history from 2022 to 2025, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. Although a failure was recorded on 11 March 2024, the fact that a pass was achieved on the same day indicates that any identified issue was a minor matter that was promptly rectified. The absence of recurring advisories across the recent history suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. At 62,943 miles, this 2009 Peugeot 107 has covered significantly less than the average for its age, with an annual usage rate of approximately 3,700 miles. While low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use over 17 years carries the risk of component degradation due to standing time. Mechanical issues in low-mileage vehicles often stem from the aging of rubber components and the settling of fluids rather than traditional wear and tear. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, your inspection should focus on age-related perishing. You must carefully check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the car has been stationary, and listen for any signs of binding calipers or brake shudder during your test drive. It is also vital to verify the service history to ensure that time-sensitive maintenance, such as oil changes, brake fluid flushes, and coolant replacements, has been performed according to calendar-based intervals rather than just mileage. Additionally, examine the suspension and steering for signs of age-related deterioration. Even with low mileage, rubber suspension bushes and coil springs can perish or lose their integrity over nearly two decades. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or dampers. Finally, check the 12V battery health and the condition of all drive belts, as these components are prone to failure in vehicles that undergo infrequent, short journeys.
