2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LT59 EOE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward increasing mechanical wear as the car ages. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 129,106 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding the front suspension and braking system. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2021 and 2022, indicating that the vehicles' rubber and metal components are now reaching the end of their functional life. At 129,106 miles over 17 years, the Peugeot 107 has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with a typical city car of this era. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered between each annual MOT test since 2021. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has seen regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, though the high mileage-to-age ratio explains the gradual degradation of de-related rubber parts and the corrosion of metal surfaces noted in the later records. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the 2025 test highlighted worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes and suspension arm pins on both sides. These issues often lead to knocking noises and poor handling if not replaced. The record also notes pitted and scored front brake discs from August 2025, which suggests the braking components are thinning or suffering from surface oxidation. Particular attention should be paid to the rear brake pipes, which were flagged in 2024 for corrosion and being covered in grease, a condition that can hide structural decay or fluid leaks. The minor exhaust leak noted in 2023 also suggests the exhaust system is beginning to fail and may require physical inspection to ensure the rust has not progressed.
