2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LR10 XOA

The most recent MOT test on January 6, 2026, confirms this Peugeot 107 remains roadworthy, though the preceding history reveals a concerning pattern of repeated failures clustered in late 2024 and early 2025. Four consecutive tests—three failures and one retest—all within a two-month window (December 2024 to January 2025) suggest either a critical component failing intermittently or a tester flagging the same underlying issue repeatedly. The absence of recorded defects in any of these tests is unusual; typically, failures would specify binding brakes, worn suspension bushes, or excessive corrosion. The January 2026 pass indicates the problem may have been resolved, but without specifics, there is no guarantee the issue was permanently addressed. The recorded mileage of 71,068 miles over 16 years equates to an average of just 4,442 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on suspension components, battery health, and rubber seals. The gap between the December 2024 failure and the January 2025 retest—just two days—implies the vehicle was likely stationary during this time, further raising concerns about fluid degradation (brake, power steering, coolant) and potential corrosion from moisture accumulation. The lack of mileage progression between tests (e.g., 64,062 to 64,130 miles in two weeks) reinforces the suspicion of extended off-road storage. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle where binding brakes were likely the repeated issue. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension bushes. The brakes should be disassembled to verify there is no internal corrosion or seized calipers, especially if the vehicle was stationary for extended periods. Corrosion checks under the sills, wheel arches, and subframe are essential, as prolonged inactivity exacerbates rust development. Finally, the battery and fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) should be inspected for degradation, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but critical for reliability. The absence of defect details in the MOT record makes independent verification imperative.
