2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NJ61 RZL

The 2011 Peugeot 107 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 17 December 2025 at 79,466 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is particularly significant because it followed a failed test just seven days earlier on 10 December 2025 at the identical mileage, also with no defects listed. This pattern of a fail followed immediately by a pass on consecutive weeks, both with no recorded advisories or failures, suggests the initial fail was likely an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has now passed its last three MOT tests on the trot, with the December 2024 and December 2023 tests also recording clean results at 74,595 and 69,280 miles respectively. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical defects, structural corrosion, or emissions failures across the entire recorded history. The mileage profile tells a clear story of very light use. Across roughly fifteen years, the car has covered 79,466 miles, averaging approximately 5,298 miles per year, well below the typical UK annual figure of around 8,000 miles. The progression is steady and unremarkable: 69,280 miles in December 2023, 74,595 miles in December 2024, and 79,466 miles in December 2025, representing an annual gain of roughly 5,000 to 5,300 miles. There are no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The vehicle appears to have been driven consistently but gently throughout its life. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage city cars like the 107 are prone to specific issues that MOT tests may not fully expose. Check the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and sills, as short-trip driving accelerates moisture retention and rust formation even on well-maintained vehicles. Inspect the condition of the front suspension lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar links, which can perish from age rather than mileage. Examine the rear brake setup for binding or uneven wear, a common trait on light-use vehicles where calipers can seize from inactivity. Verify the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting rubbers. Tyre condition deserves close attention; low annual mileage often means tyres age out before they wear out, so check the date codes on all four sidewalls for rubber older than six years. Finally, test the clutch bite point and gear change quality, as infrequent use can cause gearbox synchro wear that a stationary MOT inspection will not reveal.
