2005 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LY55 DWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 93,811 miles passed with advisories for a discoloured windscreen and worn front tyres, previous data shows a history of mechanical neglect. The vehicle failed its November 2021 test on multiple fronts including exhaust emissions and lighting defects, suggesting that significant repairs were only addressed once a failure was imminent. At 93,811 miles over 21 years, the car has covered a low average of approximately 4,467 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. There is a notable gap in the records between the December 2022 test and the August 2024 test, during which the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles. This irregular usage suggests the car may have sat for extended periods, which often correlates with the pitting and corrosion found on the brake discs noted in earlier inspections. A buyer must focus closely on the front suspension and braking system, as these areas show recurring issues. The tester flagged worn lower suspension arm bushes in 2020 and consistently noted pitted brake discs across 2020 and 2021. The oil residue in the gearbox area reported in 2021 also warrants a physical inspection to ensure a seal leak is not active or worsening. Furthermore, the exhaust system failure in late 2021 indicates that the manifold and piping should be checked for structural corrosion or recurring leaks that could lead to future emissions failures.
