2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NL06 ACJ

Corrosion and recurring lighting and emissions issues define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which most recently passed its MOT on 24 October 2024 following a significant failure the previous day. The testing history shows a pattern of electrical and visibility failures, specifically regarding headlamps, position lamps, and indicators, alongside a recorded exhaust emissions failure in October 2024 that suggested a potential exhaust leak. While the most recent result shows no defects, the preceding years reveal a history of structural corrosion advisories and repeated issues with lighting components and suspension wear. The vehicle has covered 90,423 miles over approximately 20 years, representing an average annual usage of roughly 4,521 miles. This is a low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, which can sometimes imply longer periods of inactivity. Mechanically, such usage patterns can lead to specific issues such as the degradation of rubber components or the onset of corrosion in areas not frequently cleaned by regular road use, as evidenced by the various advisories for corroded seat belt anchorages, coil springs, and general vehicle structure recorded between 2021 and 2023. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the structural integrity and suspension components. The record shows a history of advisories for corroded coil springs, a worn wishbone rear bush, and damaged anti-roll bar linkages. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate worn suspension bushes or linkages. Additionally, given the previous advisories regarding structural corrosion and seat belt anchorage points, a physical inspection of the sills and floor pans is necessary to check for significant rust that could compromise the vehicle's integrity. Braking and exhaust systems also require scrutiny. The history includes advisories for thinning brake pads and worn front brake discs. On the road, check for any pedal judder or uneven braking performance, which could signal warped discs or binding calipers. The 2024 failure regarding exhaust emissions and a suspected leak necessitates a thorough check of the exhaust system for any audible hissing or deep droning sounds, particularly under acceleration. Finally, ensure all lighting elements, including the registration plate lamp and indicators, are fully functional to avoid repeating the recent failure points.
