2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LP13 SLZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in March 2026 at 49,576 miles resulted in an initial failure due to lighting issues and multiple component defects. While the car passed upon re-test, the persistence of a corroded nearside rear coil spring and a defective exhaust mounting—dating back to 2024—suggests the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 49,576 miles over 13 years, the Peugeot shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage frequency explains the specific degradation of rubber-based components seen in the record. Between February 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered only 4,978 miles, yet the tester flagged perishing and cracking on both rear tyres in multiple consecutive years. This indicates the car likely sits stationary for long periods, which leads to dry rot in the tyres and accelerated components despite the low tread wear. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension assembly closely, as the nearside rear coil spring has remained flagged for corrosion for at least two years. The 2024 test also highlighted corroded brake pipes were covered in grease, which is a common tactic used to hide structural decay from visual inspections; you should verify the integrity of these lines and check the exhaust system for thinning or rust beyond the mounting. Given the recent failure for headlamp aim and position lamps, a thorough electrical check of the lighting cluster is necessary to ensure no further wiring issues have emerged from the long-term storage of the vehicle.
