2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LC58 FHW

The vehicle shows a history of reactive maintenance, where faults are often only addressed immediately following an MOT failure. The most recent test in August 2025 at 88,463 miles followed a failure just one mile prior that revealed critical safety issues including significantly worn front brake discs, thin pads, and a structural cut in the nearside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, the tester flagged corroded brake pipes on both rear sides covered in grease. The presence of grease on brake lines is often an attempt to mask surface corrosion and warrants a thorough physical inspection of the integrity of the piping. At 88,463 miles, the car has covered low mileage for its eighteen-year age, averaging roughly 4,900 miles per year. This low usage is consistent with the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by recurring reports of perishing and cracking tyres between 2020 and 2023, as well as defective wiper blades. The 2023 test at 77,992 miles highlighted an imbalanced rear braking system and a distorted nearside front wheel, suggesting that the vehicle may have sat for long periods or encountered potholes that led to flat spots or uneven wear. Mechanical trends indicate a recurring issue with suspension and lighting components. A severely deteriorated ball joint dust cover was noted in 2019, and corroded offside rear coil spring appeared in 2021. The 2022 failure due to a blowing exhaust prevented an emissions test, indicating that the exhaust system's structural integrity has not always been proactively maintained. A buyer should verify the current state of the suspension bushings and the exhaust manifold, as the record suggests these areas are prone to neglect on this specific vehicle.
