2008 Peugeot 1007 1.4L Petrol · MW08 XUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs. In the most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 77,776 miles, the car failed just three days prior due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle passed after these repairs were made, the presence of a worn offside front suspension arm bush as an advisory indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they cause failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,776 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between December 2022 and November 2023, where the car covered only 4,187 miles in nearly eleven months. This low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, which is consistent with the recurring failures of suspension bushes and linkage dust covers noted in the 2026 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay, as a non-excessive oil leak has been a persistent issue since at least December 2022. The low usage pattern also increases the risk of perished seals and seized brake components, evidenced by the inoperative offside rear parking brake recorded in late 2022. The history of a damaged rear crash bar noted in 2022 also warrants a close look at structural integrity around the rear chassis and any hidden corrosion in the inner sills or wheel arches, which are common failure points for Peugeot models of this era.
