2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LB60 AOT

The 2011 Peugeot 107 holds a valid MOT certificate from February 2025, though this certificate is now over sixteen months old and requires immediate renewal. The maintenance trend indicates a worsening pattern of mechanical and electrical defects rather than stable upkeep. The most recent test in February 2025 at 107,670 miles passed only after rectifying a failed attempt two days prior, which had flagged excessively worn front lower suspension arm ball joints and a binding nearside rear brake. While the car currently sits on a passing certificate, the recurring nature of these faults suggests underlying deterioration that demands thorough inspection. Covering 107,670 miles over fifteen years equates to roughly 7,178 miles annually, a typical figure for a city car of this age. The mileage progression reveals a recent drop in usage. Between the July 2023 test at 102,063 miles and the February 2025 test at 107,670 miles, the vehicle accumulated just 5,607 miles over nineteen months. This low recent mileage indicates prolonged periods of standing, which aligns with the recurring tyre perishing and binding brake faults observed during the same timeframe. A physical inspection must focus on the mechanical components that caused the February 2025 failure. The tester flagged excessively worn front lower suspension arm ball joints on both sides, a critical wear item that affects steering geometry. The nearside rear service brake was binding excessively, accompanied by low handbrake and footbrake readings on that side, pointing toward a seized caliper or compromised brake linkage. Buyers should verify the current condition of these components, as the sixteen-month gap since the last test allows for significant wear or further deterioration. Beyond the immediate mechanical failures, the record highlights persistent electrical and cosmetic advisories. The nearside indicator tell-tale has appeared as defective or inoperative across multiple tests since 2023, alongside a recurring fault with the headlamp lenses. Both front and rear tyres have consistently shown signs of perishing and cracking, a direct consequence of the vehicle's recent low mileage and likely extended stationary periods. Inspect the tyre sidewalls thoroughly for deep cracking and assess the headlamp lenses for moisture ingress or diminished light output.
