2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MJ08 UVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 69,000 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one week prior. The record shows a recurring failure to address minor but essential issues immediately, such as headlamp alignment and suspension component wear. The transition from a multi-fault failure to a pass suggests that the vehicle is only serviced when necessary to meet the legal testing standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage is evidenced by the marginal increase of only 27 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components. The MOT record confirms this with repeated reports of perishing and cracking on the offside rear tyre across three consecutive years, indicating that the car likely sits stationary for long periods, allowing materials to fail despite minimal travel. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, as a sill deformation on the nearside front integral body structure has been noted in at least three separate tests since 2024. While the tester noted structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, persistent deformation warrants monitoring for advancing corrosion or previous impact damage. Additionally, the anti-roll bar linkage bushes were flagged as worn in late 2025, suggesting the front suspension requires attention to prevent further noise and maintain handling stability. The braking system also requires scrutiny due to a nearside rear service brake binding failure recorded in October 2025 and pitted front brake discs noted in November 2023. Given the low mileage, these issues likely stem from surface rust and seized calipers rather than mechanical wear. The buyer should verify that the brakes are moving freely and that the tyres are free of sidewall cracking, as the history demonstrates a consistent failure to replace aged rubber components before they fail inspection.
