2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LM62 LJU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass in January 2026 at 78,108 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs in 2023 to a more stable period recently. While the 2024 failure due to a major exhaust leak was addressed immediately as evidenced by the subsequent pass without defects, the history indicates recurring issues with aging rubber components. The vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of compliance over the last eighteen months. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 78,108 miles represents an average of approximately 5,580 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, but the data reveals significant gaps in annual use. Between August 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered only 8,252 miles, indicating consistent but light operation. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related systems rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The 2023 test flagged worn bushes on both front suspension arms and significant corrosion on the rear coil springs. While these did not cause a failure at that time, corrosion on springs often leads to structural cracking and sudden failure over time. Similarly, the corroded rear brake pipes noted in 2023 should be inspected to ensure the oxidation has not progressed toward a hazardous leak. The record also highlights that tyres have aged poorly despite the low mileage. The nearside rear tyre was flagged for perishing and cracking in 2023, 2025, and 2026. This indicates the rubber is drying out due to age and exposure rather than tread depth loss. Any purchaser should check the sidewalls of all tyres for dry rot. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for integrity to ensure the repair following the January 2024 leak remains secure and is not developing new surface fractures at the manifold connection.
