2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LC61 AAJ

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 18 December 2025 showing no defects. The history over the last five years indicates a stable pattern of roadworthiness, as the car has passed every annual inspection since 2021 without any recorded failures. The only recorded irregularity was a single advisory in December 2024 regarding a product on both front headlamp lenses, which did not reach the threshold of a failure but noted a potential impact on light output. The recorded mileage of 52,048 miles for a 2012 model indicates a low annual usage pattern of approximately 3,718 miles per year. While this lower mileage suggests less cumulative wear on high-friction components like the engine, gearbox, and braking system compared to a higher-mileage equivalent, it also means the vehicle has been subject to less frequent mechanical cycling. For a car of this age, such usage patterns can sometimes lead to the stagnation of fluids or the hardening of rubber components like suspension bushes and engine mounts, though the MOT records do not currently show any failures related to these items. Given the advisory regarding the headlamp lenses in late 2024, a prospective buyer should inspect the clarity of the headlight units. While the 2025 test showed no issues, any clouding or residue on the plastic lenses can affect night-time visibility. During a test drive, ensure that the beam pattern is consistent and that there is no significant dimming when the lights are switched on. If the lenses appear heavily oxidised or pitted, this could indicate that the surface coating has degraded, which may eventually require polishing or replacement to maintain optimal illumination levels. Beyond the headlamps, the lack of recorded defects in suspension, steering, or braking components suggests these systems have remained within operational limits. However, because the vehicle has been driven relatively low distances annually, it is prudent to listen for any unexpected knocks or knocks from the front suspension when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate aged bushes or dampers. Additionally, check for any unevenness in braking feel or pedal judder, as low-use vehicles can occasionally experience minor surface corrosion on brake discs if left stationary for extended periods.
