2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MM12 OWJ

The 2012 Peugeot 107 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 October 2025 at 103,583 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is not an isolated event. The vehicle has passed every MOT since at least October 2022, and the record shows no recurring faults, no advisories, and no pattern of deterioration across the last four years of testing. The single entry on 16 October 2023 showing a fail with no defects appears to be a data anomaly or administrative re-test, as a pass was issued on the same date at the same mileage. Overall, the mechanical condition appears consistently sound. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear and typical for a city car of this age. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the odometer advanced from 83,632 to 103,583 miles, covering roughly 19,951 miles over three years, or approximately 6,650 miles per year. The annual increments between tests sit between 6,000 and 6,500 miles, showing no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps that might suggest long periods of disuse or odometer tampering. This steady usage pattern is consistent with regular short-to-medium distance driving, which tends to keep a small petrol engine and its drivetrain in reasonable working order. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. At 103,583 miles and fourteen years of age, the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar linkages deserve close attention, as wear in these components is common on small hatchbacks used on urban roads. The rear beam axle and its mounting points should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the car has been kept in a coastal or road-salt-heavy area. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, and both front calipers inspected for any sign of binding, a known issue on this platform. The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and flexi-joint, should be examined for leaks or deterioration, as emissions-related failures can develop between tests. Tyre condition and age are also worth verifying, since perished sidewalls or uneven wear can indicate neglected alignment or suspension issues not yet severe enough to trigger a MOT failure. The clean record is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical inspection before purchase.
