2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · ML61 MBU

A pattern of persistent advisories across recent MOT tests, combined with two failures within the last five years, forms the defining mechanical story of this 2011 Peugeot 107. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 returned a pass, but with a continuing advisory for cracking and perishing of the offside front tyre, an issue that has been flagged repeatedly across multiple tests. Going back to 2022, a dangerous failure was recorded for a nearside rear tyre with structural separation, alongside a dangerous failure in 2021 for an offside rear tyre with tread depth below the 1.6mm minimum. The recurring presence of brake pipe corrosion advisories, particularly on the offside rear line, and persistent tyre deterioration advisories across nearly every test in the record indicate ongoing wear concerns that a prospective buyer should treat as a maintenance pattern rather than isolated incidents. The recorded mileage of 102,432 miles across approximately fifteen years of service equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 6,800 miles, which sits close to typical usage expectations for a vehicle of this age and class. The testing record shows consistent annual MOT entries from 2021 onwards with no extended gaps, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout this period rather than being laid up for any significant interval. There are no abrupt mileage jumps or unusually long stationary periods that would raise concerns about dormant component degradation, seized calipers, or perished fuel lines from disuse. The mileage progression is steady and consistent, which for a small city-oriented Peugeot 107 indicates normal commuting and urban duty rather than sustained high-speed motorway use. Buyer attention should focus on the offside rear brake pipe, which has been flagged for corrosion across four separate tests from 2021 through 2025, described as covered in grease or other material. On inspection, the pipework should be examined closely for any pitting, flaking, or weeping at joints, as the recurring advisory suggests the corrosion has not been fully rectified. The offside rear wheel bearing has also been noted as slightly noisy on three occasions, so a test drive should involve listening for a cyclical hum or drone that rises and falls with road speed, particularly when cornering under load. Any binding or reluctance to free-wheel when jacked up would warrant further investigation. The tyre condition history is the other clear theme, with perishing and cracking advisories affecting all four corners across multiple tests, culminating in two dangerous failures for structural failure and sub-legal tread depth. At a test drive, examine all four tyres for sidewall cracking, bulges, or uneven wear patterns, and confirm the fitted rubber has adequate tread across the full width. The front fuel hose was also flagged for slight damage and chafing in 2021, so a check under the bonnet for any signs of fuel staining, hardened rubber, or aftermarket repairs around the hose routing is worthwhile. Given the cumulative advisory list, a thorough pre-purchase inspection with the vehicle raised on a ramp would be prudent to confirm the structural integrity of the underbody, given the brake pipe corrosion history and the general age of the chassis components.
