2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LR61 ASX

This Peugeot 107 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, the most recent of which occurred just nine months ago on 3 October 2025. The vehicle passed without fail at 49,109 miles, indicating no recurring or unresolved issues during the tester’s examination of critical systems—braking, steering, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. While the absence of advisories or failings suggests the car has not experienced major mechanical failures, the lack of any recorded faults also means there is no historical data to confirm whether routine maintenance—such as brake pad replacement, suspension bush inspections, or fluid top-ups—has been consistently performed. The stability of the MOT record implies that, at the time of testing, the vehicle met the minimum DVSA standards, but it does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection to verify hidden wear or deferred servicing. The mileage progression of 3,508 miles per year over the past five years is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either very light usage or prolonged periods of non-operation. Between tests, the mileage increments remain consistent: 6,523 miles between 2021 and 2022, 6,504 miles between 2022 and 2023, and 6,527 miles between 2023 and 2024, with the final stretch to 49,109 miles covering 6,423 miles since the last MOT. While this pattern could indicate careful ownership, it also raises questions about whether critical components—such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension elements—have been subject to the expected wear associated with higher mileage. Low mileage does not exempt a vehicle from degradation; rather, it may mean that components like coil springs, steering racks, or even the battery have aged passively without the mitigating effects of regular driving. Given the lack of MOT-reported issues, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested under the MOT regime. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue over 14 years even with low mileage. Check for binding or uneven brake calipers and discs, as the MOT does not test for lateral wear or excessive thickness variation. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age. Additionally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or cracked heat shields, and inspect the battery for sulfation or capacity loss, as prolonged inactivity can degrade lead-acid cells. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas require direct visual and functional assessment to confirm they have been properly maintained.
