2014 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MA14 TUW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2024 at 122,568 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two days prior. While the owner addressed the headlamp aim and bumper security, the vehicle returned with advisories for worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes and a displaced offside rear rubber spring mount. These issues suggest suspension components are reaching the end of their life and are only addressed when they threaten failure. At 122,568 miles over twelve years, the car has averaged approximately 10,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a city car. There is a significant mileage gap of 24,494 miles recorded between April 2022 and April 2023, representing a period of much heavier use. The failure in April 2022 at 94,286 miles for excessive dense blue smoke is a critical data point, indicating potential engine oil consumption or injector issues. The fact that the vehicle passed emissions tests in subsequent years suggests the issue was either resolved or intermittent, but the high mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the recurring anti-roll bar linkage faults indicate widespread wear of bushings. The offside rear rubber spring mount needs to be checked for further displacement or perished rubber to prevent premature spring failure. Given the history of oil leaks noted in 2023 and the previous blue smoke failure in 2022, the engine should be inspected for active leaks and signs of excessive oil consumption. The front brake pads were noted as thin in 2023, so the remaining life on the pads and discs requires verification to ensure they do not require immediate replacement.
