2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · OV12 GGX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT in September 2025 at 63,255 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to a period of escalating advisories. While the car previously suffered from multiple suspension and tyre issues, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the mechanical concerns identified in the preceding years. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between 2015 and 2019, where the vehicle covered only 3,615 miles over four years. This low-use pattern explains the recurring issues with tyre perishing and rubber degradation, as components age through time rather than through mileage. The mileage has increased more steadily since 2020, suggesting a shift toward regular use. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly, as records from 2023 and 2024 consistently flagged wear in the anti-roll bar linkages and lower suspension arm bushes. Although these were noted as not resulting in excessive movement at the time, the recurring nature of these faults indicates a tendency for rubber component degradation. The offside front coil spring noted for corrosion in 2024 should also be inspected to ensure rust has not progressed to a structural failure point. The braking system requires specific attention following the 2017 report of a parking brake imbalance requiring adjustment. Given the history of perished tyres and low mileage, the buyer must check for sidewall cracking on all current tyres, as they may be old despite having tread. While the recent test is clean, the historical pattern of minor wear on components suggests the vehicle is sensitive to age-related deterioration.
