2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NB08 MTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in July 2025 at 70,449 miles showed the car passing with a minor oil leak and an inoperative registration lamp. This follows a failure in July 2024 where multiple issues including pitted brake discs, perished tyres, and a defective exhaust mounting were identified. While faults are being rectified, the owner only addresses components when necessitated by an MOT failure. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,449 miles represents an average of approximately 3,914 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept stationary, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows only 2,560 miles driven, confirming the low-mileage profile but also highlighting the risk of age-related rot and corrosion rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The 2023 record flagged all four shock absorbers as corroded, a common issue on this model that can lead to structural failure if not monitored. The history of fluctuating front brakes in 2022 and pitted discs in 2024 suggests the braking system is prone to corrosion. The buyer should also check for sidewall cracking, as the 2024 test noted damage and perishing on the rear tyres due to age rather than tread depth. The oil leak noted in the 2025 test requires close scrutiny under the car to determine if it is a simple seal failure or a more significant leak. Given the low mileage and age, the exhaust mounting and wiper blades should also be checked for security, as these were previously identified points of failure. Verify that the front brake discs were actually replaced following the 2024 failure to ensure the vehicle provides consistent stopping power.
