2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LC08 VHP

The vehicle shows a history of recurring structural and suspension issues that persist despite relatively low annual mileage. In the most recent test on June 2026 at 50,966 miles, the car failed initially due to excessive wear on the nearside front lower suspension arm bush and a perished rear bush. While it passed shortly after, the tester flagged a fluctuating offside front service brake and surface-level corrosion or cracking on both rear tyres. The presence of corrosion on the offside rear outer sill has been a consistent advisory since 2025, indicating that while structural integrity is currently maintained, the metal is in an active state of oxidation. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 50,966 miles represents an average of approximately 2,800 miles per year. This low usage explains the significant degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The record highlights a clear pattern of age-related failure, with perishing bushes, corroded springs, and cracking tyres appearing across multiple tests between 2023 and 2026. The failure in May 2023 was particularly notable due to excessive corrosion on a suspension component mounting area, which suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary in damp or salty environments. A buyer should focus on the structural integrity of the outer sills and the rear axle, as the history shows frequent mentions of corrosion. The suspension system is a known point of concern, with bushes and shock absorbers flagged repeatedly over the last three years. Additionally, the fluctuating offside front brake suggests that the brake discs may be warped or reaching the end of their effective life. Given the recurring nature of the suspension faults and the structural rust, the vehicle requires close monitoring to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond surface-level issues.
