2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LT62 NHK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 59,304 miles, the tester identified a binding offside front service brake and corrosion across all suspension components. This represents a progression from the 2024 test where only the sub-frame and axle were noted, suggesting that environmental corrosion is actively advancing despite the relatively low mileage. At 14 years old, the recorded 59,304 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,236 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, with intervals of 3,000 to 7,000 miles between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. This low usage often correlates with the observed deterioration of rubber components, such as the ball joint dust covers noted in 2022, as vehicles that sit stationary for long periods allowing moisture to settle on metal surfaces and perish seals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame and rear axle, as the record consistently flags corrosion in these areas since 2023. The 2025 advisory regarding corroded suspension components indicates that while the car has not yet failed structurally, the structural integrity of the lower chassis is under constant threat. Furthermore, the binding offside front brake from the latest test requires a check for a seized caliper piston or disc overheating to prevent uneven pad wear. The uneven wear on the rear tyres in 2025 also suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be addressed to avoid further consumable costs.
