2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NA60 PXK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted just six months ago on 19 November 2025, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 25,323 miles. Over the past five annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or advisories, suggesting consistent compliance with MOT standards. The absence of any advisory notes or repeated failures across multiple tests implies that basic maintenance, such as brake pad replacement, suspension checks, and emissions testing, has likely been addressed by previous owners. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; a thorough inspection is essential to verify components like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers, which often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failure. The recorded mileage of 25,323 miles over 16 years—approximately 1,583 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2022 failure (23,037 miles) and subsequent pass (23,046 miles) suggests either a minor oversight in the test date or a brief period of inactivity, but the overall trend shows negligible mileage accumulation. This low mileage could mean prolonged storage, which may accelerate issues like battery corrosion, tyre degradation, or fluid degradation in the cooling or power-steering systems. The most recent test date, just six months prior, is acceptable for a used-car purchase, but the vehicle’s age—now 16 years—means critical components like timing belts, water pumps, and suspension mounts may be approaching their expected service intervals. Given the vehicle’s age and the absence of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise inspecting high-wear items not always captured in a standard MOT. Focus on the suspension system—check for worn coil springs, deteriorated bushes, or cracked rubber mounts, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The braking system, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on brake discs, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Examine the underbody for structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise the chassis. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as this is often overlooked until it becomes a failure risk. The lack of MOT defects does not guarantee these areas are sound—only a detailed mechanical inspection will confirm their integrity.
