2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MB02 ANB

The vehicle presents a concerning history of structural degradation despite its low annual mileage. While the car passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 70,135 miles, this followed a significant failure just weeks prior at 70,121 miles. That failure identified excessive corrosion on the nearside and offside rear suspension mounting areas, which compromised the structural strength of the inner and outer sills. This indicates that while repairs were subsequently made, the underlying chassis integrity remains a risk given the heavy undersealing which may have masked deeper rust during the 2024 inspections. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,135 miles averages approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with mechanical longevity, but the record suggests the car has suffered from environmental damage. Between 2019 and 2024, the vehicle faced multiple failures related to structural corrosion in the chassis and seat belt anchorages, alongside corroded brake pipes. The presence of a failed seat belt anchorage floor in 2024 is a critical safety red flag, as it indicates the metal forming the passenger safety restraint point was structurally compromised by rust. The maintenance pattern shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. Recurring issues with exhaust leaks, lambda sensor readings, and perishing tyres suggest that components were only addressed when they reached a point of failure. The 2024 advisory regarding a worn nearside suspension arm bush and the 2025 advisory for worn rear tyres indicate that consumable parts are now requiring immediate attention. A buyer should perform a thorough inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points to ensure the repairs made in 2025 were robust and not merely cosmetic, as the history of structural failure is persistent.
