2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LO57 EMZ

The vehicle shows a clear trend of deteriorating suspension and braking components as it reaches higher mileage. In the most recent test on January 2026 at 137,694 miles, the car failed due to corroded front and rear coil springs and a corroded offside rear brake pipe. While these were rectified to achieve a pass later that month, the recurring nature of coil spring corrosion across 2024 and 2025 suggests significant environmental rust is affecting the underbody. The offside rear brake pipe was also flagged for corrosion in 2024, indicating that the hydraulic lines require close monitoring for leaks between inspections. At approximately 14 years old with 137,694 miles, the vehicle averages roughly 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with its age. The record indicates a period of relative stability between 2021 and 2023 where no defects were recorded. However, the frequency of failures after the 112,000-mile mark suggests that wear and tear are now accelerating. Specifically, the 2024 test at 112,467 miles highlighted pitted front brake discs and worn suspension bushes, which aligns with high-mileage usage on a small city car. A buyer should focus on the integrity of the suspension geometry and braking lines. The suspension arms and anti-roll bar bushes have been noted issues since 2019, and the recent replacement of all four coil springs in 2026 indicates the vehicle is at a point where rubber and metal components must be checked frequently for fatigue and failure. While the car currently holds a valid MOT, the history of corroded pipes and worn components suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where more frequent repairs may be necessary to maintain roadworthiness.
