2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LM08 LXY

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend toward neglected minor consumables and surface corrosion. The most recent MOT passed on 27 January 2026 at 57,987 miles, but the tester flagged several advisory items including defective wiper blades, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and perishing tyres. The presence of pitted and scored front brake discs suggests that while the car remains roadworthy, the owner is allowing minor wear and surface oxidation to accumulate rather than performing proactive maintenance. The mileage history indicates very low usage, averaging approximately 3,222 miles per year over its eighteen-year lifespan. A significant period of inactivity or very light use is evident between the March 2020 test at 57,842 miles and the January 2026 test at 57,987 miles, representing a gap of nearly six years with only 145 miles recorded. This long period of stagnation often leads to the specific issues seen in the latest record, such as perishing rubber components and brake disc pitting from lack of regular friction and movement. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the suspension and drivetrain components, as these have shown recurring issues. The March 2020 test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and missing locking nuts on several ball joints, following a 2019 failure involving a deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot and cracking arm bushes. These repeated faults suggest that the steering and suspension geometry may not have been consistently addressed. The 2019 record also noted a minor exhaust leak and corrosion on the exhaust hanger support, which warrants a physical inspection for structural integrity and further corrosion along the exhaust system. Finally, the condition of the tyres and braking system requires close attention. The record shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing, particularly in the 2016 and 2026 tests. Given the history of pitted brake discs and the long period of low usage, a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear is necessary. The buyer should also verify that the recent advisories regarding headlamp lens clarity and lighting have been resolved to ensure full compliance with visibility standards.
