2005 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LD55 AHU

The 2025‑11‑20 MOT passed the vehicle, yet the tester flagged worn off‑side front and rear tyres, an oil leak and a slightly distorted near‑side rear wheel. These recurring issues show a stable but neglected maintenance pattern rather than a clear improvement or worsening trend. At 69,271 miles the 2005 Peugeot 107 averages just over 3,300 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age. Mileage jumps from 51,986 miles in September 2020 to 56,361 miles by December 2021, then to 57,196 miles in November 2022, indicating irregular usage rather than a steady increase. The low annual mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which can exacerbate suspension and brake wear when it is driven. A buyer should first examine the anti‑roll bar linkage pins and bushes, which have been recorded as worn in every test since 2019. Inspect the rear brake assembly for binding calipers, the condition of the brake discs, and the state of the tyre tread, especially the inner shoulder wear noted on the off‑side front tyre. Check the oil leak source and verify that it is not excessive, and confirm the headlamp aim is correctly set, as the 2023 failure showed an incorrect beam projection. Finally, assess the structural integrity of the wheel rims and the chassis for corrosion or damage, given the repeated mentions of wheel distortion. The latest pass confirms the vehicle meets the minimum roadworthiness standards, but the persistent minor defects reveal a pattern of deferred maintenance. A prospective buyer must therefore conduct a detailed visual and functional inspection of suspension components, braking systems, tyre condition, and any signs of excessive oil consumption before committing to purchase.
