Our Verdict
This Peugeot 107 represents a sensible b
Given the car's age of nearly 17 years, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is wise even though the MOT record is largely clean. Inspect all four tyres carefully — not just for tread depth but for correct fitment and sidewall markings, as the recent failure shows this has been an issue. Check the service history paperwork for evidence of regular oil changes, timing chain or belt replacement intervals (this 1.0-litre engine uses a chain), and any clutch or gearbox work. The 107 is a basic urban car, so don't expect luxury features, but electric windows, central locking, and air conditioning should all be tested if fitted.
When negotiating, point to the car's age rather than just the MOT pass rate. A vehicle of this vintage will inevitably need consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust sections soon, so factor around £300-£500 into any offer for upcoming maintenance. Confirm the spare wheel or repair kit is present, and check whether the car has a history of being used for short urban trips only — this can be inferred from the very low annual mileage and is actually beneficial for preventing long-distance wear.
The Peugeot 107's 998cc three-cylinder petrol engine is renowned for its excellent fuel economy, typically returning 55-65 mpg in mixed driving — a particular strength for a city-focused car. Road tax is minimal thanks to its low CO2 emissions (around 109g/km), placing it in a cheap VED band, though post-2017 rules mean cars over £40,000 list price don't apply here. Insurance sits in group 3-4, making it one of the cheapest cars to insure on the UK market.
Annual maintenance costs are modest given the simplicity of the vehicle. Budget around £150-£250 for a basic service and £300-£400 if you include tyres, brakes, or other wear items. Replacement parts are inexpensive and widely available. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance come in at approximately £900-£1,200, depending heavily on mileage.
Focus your inspection on areas relevant to this particular vehicle. First, verify all tyres are fitted correctly according to their directional arrows — the September 2025 failure shows this has been an issue, and incorrectly fitted directional tyres wear prematurely and compromise grip. Given the car's age, inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension components, the exhaust, and subframe mounting points, as 17-year-old city cars can suffer from surface rust even with low mileage.
Check that all MOT advisories from previous tests have been addressed. The recent test history shows clean passes with no advisories recorded, but a physical inspection should still cover the usual age-related items: brake fluid condition, coolant strength, condition of the cambelt area components (though this engine uses a chain), and the operation of all electrical items. Listen for any timing chain rattle on cold start, which is a known concern on higher-mileage 1.0-litre Toyota-sourced engines, though the low mileage here reduces that risk considerably.
This November 2009 Peugeot 107 in black with a 998cc petrol engine has covered just 42,220 miles across 15+ years, equating to an average of roughly 2,650 miles per year — well below typical annual mileage. Five MOT tests are recorded between November 2021 and September 2025, four of which passed without any advisories. The only failure occurred in September 2025 due to a tyre being fitted in the wrong rotational direction, a simple fix that resulted in a pass just five days later.
The Peugeot 107 shares its mechanical platform with the Toyota Aygo and Citroën C1, and benefits from Toyota-sourced engine technology known for durability. Without aggregate MOT data specifically for the Peugeot 107, this individual vehicle's clean record is encouraging but should be considered alongside the car's age rather than taken as proof of long-term reliability.

Common Problems: PEUGEOT 107
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Premature Clutch Wear on Urban Cars(Moderate)
The 1.0-litre 107 is predominantly used for urban commuting and first-time driver learning, placing immense strain on the lightweight clutch assembly. Pre-2009 models were manufactured with an undersized 180mm clutch friction plate that frequently wore out before 40,000 miles. Symptoms include a biting point at the very top of pedal travel, slipping in higher gears under moderate acceleration, and severe judder when moving off from a standstill. Peugeot later superseded the part with a sturdier 190mm clutch kit.
- Water Pump Bearing Seepage and Coolant Loss(Moderate)
The coolant water pump on the 1.0-litre 1KR-FE three-cylinder petrol engine has a limited working lifespan and commonly develops shaft seal leaks or bearing failure. If left undetected, coolant gradually drains from the system, leading to engine overheating and potential cylinder head gasket failure. Early detection is possible by looking for dried crusty pink coolant residue around the water pump pulley on the auxiliary belt drive side of the engine block.
