2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · NV13 CXY

A recurring pattern of corrosion on the rear brake pipes and persistent wear in the front suspension defines the mechanical history of this vehicle. While the latest test on 2026-06-02 resulted in a pass following a failure for incorrect headlamp aim, the broader record shows a trend of recurring advisories and previous dangerous failures. Specifically, the vehicle has a history of critical failures regarding brake pad thickness and tyre tread depth, alongside long-term advisories for corrosion and suspension wear. At 42,947 miles over 13 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 3,304 miles per year. This low annual accumulation is consistent with the specific types of defects recorded in the MOT history, such as the perishing of tyre sidewalls and the corrosion of brake pipes, which are typical for vehicles that undergo limited usage or experience long periods of inactivity. The rear brake pipes have been flagged as corroded in multiple tests between 2023 and 2025, and light surface rust under the body was noted as recently as June 2025. A physical inspection of the undercarriage is necessary to determine the current state of the brake lines and structural integrity. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any sponginess in the brake pedal or a lack of immediate response, which could indicate issues within the braking system. Front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages have been recorded as worn across several consecutive years of testing. Listen for knocking or clunking sounds when driving over speed bumps or navigating uneven road surfaces, as these are primary symptoms of worn suspension components. Additionally, the history of tyre scrubbing on the outer edges and previous failures for tread depth and sidewall perishing necessitates a close inspection of the current tyres for uneven wear and cracking.
