2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LL60 BZA

The Peugeot 107 presents as a broadly roadworthy vehicle with a stable maintenance trend, though one requiring attentive monitoring of aging suspension and braking components. The most recent MOT, conducted on 25 February 2026 at 53,590 miles, resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged front inner brake pads wearing thin beyond half their serviceable limit. This is a consumable wear item, yet its presence at the test date suggests the vehicle may have been driven for some weeks or months with pads approaching the minimum threshold before replacement. The overall trajectory since 2022 shows no escalating pattern of serious failures, but the recurrence of suspension bush wear across multiple tests indicates gradual deterioration consistent with a vehicle of this age rather than acute neglect. The mileage profile is notably low. Across roughly fifteen years, the recorded distance of 53,590 miles equates to approximately 3,573 miles per year, well below the UK annual average of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles. The progression between tests confirms this: 40,635 miles in February 2022, 43,470 in February 2023, 46,372 in February 2024, 49,977 in February 2025, and 53,590 in February 2026, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 3,000 to 3,600 miles per annum with no sudden spikes or anomalous gaps. This low annual usage implies long periods of stationary parking, which can accelerate perishable component degradation such as rubber bushes, tyre sidewall cracking, and brake corrosion, even when mechanical wear from use is minimal. The 2023 test at 43,470 miles is the most revealing entry. The tester identified perishing on the nearside rear outer tyre sidewall, slight corrosion on all brake hose ferrules, and worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes along with debonded rear suspension arm bushes on both front corners. These are not isolated faults. The 2025 test at 49,977 miles returned advisories for deteriorated track rod end dust covers and worn lower suspension arm bushes on both sides, confirming that front-end rubber components are degrading in a pattern consistent with age rather than mileage alone. The brake hose corrosion noted in 2023 has not reappeared as an advisory in subsequent tests, suggesting either replacement or that surface corrosion was not yet critical, but a buyer should still inspect all brake lines and ferrules for pitting or weeping at each caliper and union point. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on three areas. First, examine all front suspension bushes, particularly the rear-most lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages, for cracking, splitting, or movement, as these have appeared repeatedly across multiple tests. Second, check the condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, and verify the date codes to confirm age. Third, inspect the front brake pads and discs for remaining material and scoring, and assess whether the pads flagged in February 2026 have since been replaced. The vehicle's low mileage and consistent annual testing pattern suggest a careful owner, but the recurring rubber and corrosion advisories point to age-related deterioration that demands ongoing vigilance.
