2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MK12 TPZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend reveals a persistent failure to address corrosion-related defects. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 71,994 miles passed, the corroded rear brake pipes and a minor exhaust leak persist. These issues are recurring faults that appeared in both 2023 and 2025, indicating that the previous owners have only performed reactive repairs rather than preventative replacement of the affected metalwork. At 71,994 miles, this 14-year-old Peugeot shows a low annual average of approximately 5,142 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a 5,978-mile gap between February 2023 and March 2024, and another 1,512 miles before the March 2025 test. However, low mileage often correlates with accelerated corrosion on underbody components that are not regularly cleaned or treated, which aligns with the frequent reports of brake pipe degradation noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The recurring mention of corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease suggests an attempt to mask surface rust with lubricant, which can hide structural thinning. Check for significant scaling on the pipework and the integrity of the exhaust manifold. Furthermore, the failure in 2024 due to dangerously worn front brake pads indicates that consumable maintenance is occasionally neglected, so the current state of the pads and discs must be verified to ensure they are not nearing their wear limit.
