2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LL57 CFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT-test in August 2025 at 132,902 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure involving critical safety and mechanical components. The record suggests that the owner addresses major faults only when they fail an inspection, evidenced by the recurring presence of worn brakes and suspension components that have persisted across multiple test cycles over the last two years. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 132,902 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,400 miles, which is consistent with typical usage for a small city car of this age. The data shows consistent progression, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 3,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This steady mileage indicates regular use, though the age-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces is expected. A buyer must prioritise the structural integrity of the front sub-frame, which the tester flagged for corrosion in 2025. Although not yet deemed seriously weakened, the presence of rust on a structural member is a long-term concern for longevity. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the 2024 failure highlighted excessive corrosion on multiple rear brake pipes and a binding offside rear service brake. While these were repaired, the buyer should verify that new lines are properly secured and that the braking mechanism is free of further pitting. The suspension shows a history of gradual wear, with anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes being flagged in both 2023 and 2025. Given the recurring reports of pitted front brake discs and tyres worn to the legal limit, an inspector should check for uneven tyre wear and the quality of the current components. The 2024 failure regarding a weakened seat belt anchorage is a serious structural concern that suggests the vehicle may have not been treated with sufficient attention in the past.
