2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · LC09 CNA

The 2009 Peugeot 107 presents a mixed maintenance picture following its most recent MOT pass on 24 June 2025 at 98,232 miles. The tester flagged a corroded offside rear brake pipe, which is a structural and hydraulic concern rather than a simple consumable wear item. Both headlamp lenses were noted as faded, and the offside rear registration plate lamp was inoperative. These advisories and minor failures suggest the vehicle has not been kept in meticulous condition during its later years. The trend is neither clearly improving nor sharply declining, but the reappearance of rear brake issues after a binding nearside rear service brake was noted in June 2024 indicates a recurring weakness in the rear braking circuit that warrants close scrutiny. At roughly 5,778 miles per year, the recorded mileage is low for a 17-year-old city car. The vehicle covered 2,140 miles between the June 2024 test and the June 2025 test, following a similar 2,057-mile interval between July 2022 and July 2023. This steady but modest accumulation suggests regular short-distance urban use rather than prolonged standing, which reduces concerns about seized components or perished rubber from lack of use. The MOT record itself is reasonably well documented, with annual tests providing a consistent snapshot of condition. No alarming gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear in the data. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear brake system in detail. The June 2024 advisory for a binding nearside rear service brake, followed by the June 2025 identification of a corroded offside rear brake pipe, points to a pattern of deterioration across the rear hydraulic circuit. Brake pipe corrosion on a vehicle of this age and mileage is not unusual, but the combination with a binding caliper suggests the rear brakes may have been neglected or operated under corrosive conditions for an extended period. Check the condition of all rigid brake pipes along the underside, paying attention to the area around the rear axle where road salt and moisture accumulate. Beyond the braking system, examine the headlamp lenses for UV degradation, as faded lenses reduce night-time beam intensity and can cause MOT failures. Verify the operation of all registration plate lamps, given the recurring inoperative lamp advisories. Inspect the rear exhaust mounting and hangers, referencing the July 2023 failure for an insecure rear exhaust system, which may have been repaired but could have left the system prone to fatigue. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake line routes, is advisable before purchase.
