2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LR60 CME

The most recent MOT test completed in September 2025 resulted in a pass, but the vehicle carries several advisories regarding tyre wear, headlamp clarity, and suspension component degradation. When evaluating the long-term maintenance trend, the vehicle shows signs of gradual deterioration rather than stability. While the 2021 and 2022 tests were clean, the subsequent years have seen a recurring pattern of advisories involving braking systems and suspension bushes, suggesting that wear is progressing and maintenance has become more reactive rather than preventative. With a recorded mileage of 81,303 over approximately 16 years, this Peugeot 107 has averaged roughly 5,081 miles per year. This is considered low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to specific issues associated with infrequent use. In this instance, the low usage profile may be a contributing factor to the recurring brake binding issues noted in the history, as components that sit idle for long periods are prone to corrosion and seized calipers. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and front suspension. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with brake binding, specifically on the offside front, which has appeared multiple times since 2020. During a test drive, listen for any scraping or grinding noises and check for a pulling sensation when applying the brakes. It is also advisable to feel the wheels after a short drive to see if one is significantly hotter than the others, which indicates a binding caliper. Furthermore, the suspension arm rear bushes have been flagged as worn or in poor condition in both 2024 and 2025. You should listen for knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as worn bushes can negatively impact steering precision and cause premature tyre wear. Finally, inspect the condition of the tyres and lighting. The latest advisory notes front tyres are worn close to the legal limit and specifically on the edges, which corroborates the suspicion of suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. Check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which is common in vehicles with low mileage that have been parked for extended periods. The headlamp advisories regarding lens clarity and beam pattern suggest the plastic covers may be oxidised or pitted; ensure the light output is sufficient for night driving. Given the age and usage, verify that the service history includes regular oil changes and fluid replacements, as calendar-based degradation of brake fluid and coolant is a concern regardless of mileage.
