2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NV07 SYT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2022 at 88,376 miles resulted in a pass, following a failure just one day prior for an ABS fault and an inoperative nearside stop lamp. This sequence suggests that while the owner addresses immediate failures to secure a certificate, the vehicle is prone to electrical and mechanical sensor faults that require intermittent attention. At 88,376 miles over 19 years, the car has clocked significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the testing record between September 2019 and December 2020, during which the vehicle covered only 4,469 miles in fifteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on engine components and brakes, it frequently accelerates age-related degradation of rubber components and structural metal, which aligns with the corrosion issues noted in the record. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the outer sills, as the 2020 test flagged slight corrosion on both the offside and nearside rear outer sills. Given the age of the Peugeot, the buyer should verify if this surface rust has progressed into structural perforation. The tester should also re-examine the nearside front wheel bearing, which was flagged as being rough in late 2020, to ensure the replacement was effective and has not developed new play. The recurring failures regarding registration plate lamps and ABS warning lights indicate that the electrical loom or sensors may be sensitive to age. The buyer should check the exhaust system for further corrosion, as the 2019 entry noted significant rust there that was not explicitly cleared in subsequent tests. Since the last recorded MOT was over four years ago, the current state of the tyres, suspension bushes, and fluid levels is unknown, making a mechanical inspection essential before any purchase.
