2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · MW61 ABF

The 2011 Peugeot 107 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no recurring defects or advisories recorded across five tests. The most recent inspection on 4 June 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed full compliance at 76,204 miles, reinforcing that the vehicle has consistently met DVSA standards without major mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners addressed minor issues promptly, though the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components like suspension bushes or drivetrain joints. Mileage progression indicates unusually light usage for its age, averaging just 5,080 miles annually. The gap between the 2024 failure (24 May, 71,288 miles) and subsequent pass (30 May, 71,344 miles) suggests minimal driving between tests, which could imply prolonged storage or infrequent use. The 2023 to 2024 interval (69,797 to 71,344 miles) spans 12 months with only 1,547 miles logged—a pattern that may correlate with reduced wear on consumables but also raises questions about fluid changes, corrosion prevention, and suspension preload adjustments over extended periods. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components for dry-rotted bushes or degraded coil springs, particularly if the vehicle has spent time stationary. The brakes appear unremarkable, but binding calipers or uneven wear on discs could develop without warning, especially if the car has been left unused for extended periods. Corrosion checks are critical—focus on wheel arches, sills, and underbody seams, where rust can compromise structural integrity without visible surface signs. Finally, verify fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and condition, as low mileage does not guarantee these have been serviced regularly.
