2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NA58 KGV

The vehicle presents a concerning history of structural degradation that has progressed to a terminal stage. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 71,592 miles, the car failed due to extensive corrosion on the inner and outer sills on both sides, which significantly reduced the rigidity of the assembly. This follows a clear trend of worsening rust noted in 2024 at 56,340 miles, where the nearside rear suspension component mounting was flagged for excessive corrosion significantly reducing structural strength. The transition from minor corrosion to major structural failure indicates that the vehicle's chassis has reached the end of its viable service life. At 71,592 miles over 18 years, the vehicle has covered a low average of approximately 4,000 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear, the record indicates this car has likely suffered from environmental damage or periods of inactivity. The 2023 test at 53,276 miles revealed widespread corrosion across the front sub-frame, suspension arms, coil spring mounts, and seat belt anchorages. The presence of perishing tyres and cracking sidewalls further suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, allowing rust to compromise the metalwork and rubber components. Beyond the structural failures, the vehicle shows signs of electrical and mechanical neglect. The 2025 failure also highlighted an inoperative engine management light and an ABS fault lamp, suggesting underlying electronic or sensor issues that have not been addressed. Previous tests identified recurring exhaust leaks and a lambda reading outside of limits, along with binding rear brakes and corroded brake pipes as noted in 2024. Given the critical structural failure of the sills and the ongoing corrosion in the suspension-related mounting points, the vehicle is not a sound investment for a buyer seeking long-term roadworthiness.
