2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LT09 MRO

Recurring issues with structural corrosion on brake lines and wear within the suspension geometry define the mechanical history of this Peugeot 107, which successfully passed its most recent MOT on 4 November 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate in recent years, the record reveals a persistent trend of degradation in critical safety components. Specifically, the recurring advisories regarding brake pipe corrosion and suspension bush wear suggest that these areas require ongoing monitoring, as they have been flagged repeatedly across multiple testing cycles, indicating that previous remedial actions may have been temporary or insufficient to address the underlying deterioration. With an odometer reading of 106,910 miles over seventeen years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,289 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical urban or suburban use. This level of usage is sufficient to keep mechanical components exercised, though the frequency of brake-related advisories suggests that the vehicle may experience periods of low-intensity use or exposure to conditions that promote surface oxidation. Prospective buyers should note that at this mileage, the drivetrain and chassis have endured significant cycles of thermal expansion and road vibration, which often accelerates the wear on the rubber bushings and metallic lines identified in the DVSA records. On a test drive, you must pay close attention to the rear axle and suspension performance, as the latest advisory indicates wear in the swivel pins and bushes. Listen for any knocking or clunking noises when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as these are primary indicators of bush failure. Furthermore, the history of offside front suspension arm wear necessitates a check for any vagueness in the steering or a tendency for the vehicle to pull to one side under braking or acceleration. Any steering wheel vibration or lack of precision when cornering should be treated as a sign that the suspension components have reached the end of their service life and require immediate replacement. The braking system warrants a thorough physical inspection, particularly given the repeated warnings regarding corroded brake pipes and binding calipers. During your test drive, ensure the pedal feel is firm and consistent, and be alert for any pulling or dragging sensations that might suggest a caliper is failing to release correctly. Since the front brake discs have been flagged for scoring and pitting in past tests, you should check for any judder through the pedal during firm deceleration. Given the history of brake pipe corrosion, I strongly recommend a visual inspection of the underside to confirm that the lines have been properly treated or replaced rather than simply cleaned, as structural integrity in these lines is vital for the vehicle's continued roadworthiness.
