2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · OY63 DTO

The latest MOT test on 24 May 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections since 2016. While there was a cluster of advisories in 2021 regarding braking components and tyre wear, the subsequent clean passes in 2022 and 2023 suggest these issues were addressed, indicating a reasonable level of upkeep by the previous owner. With a recorded mileage of 153,670 miles over approximately thirteen years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 11,821 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for its age and class, though it is on the higher side for a small-capacity city car. At this mileage, the mechanical focus shifts from simple consumables to the long-term health of the drivetrain and chassis. Prospective buyers should anticipate that components such as the clutch, alternator, and water pump may be approaching the end of their natural service life if they have not already been replaced. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear, specifically notes of tyres being worn on the edges or inner edges in 2017, 2018, and 2021. This often points to underlying issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and coil springs, which can cause uneven tread wear. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces and check the current tyre tread for similar uneven wear patterns. Ensuring the tracking is correctly aligned is essential to prevent premature tyre replacement. Although the 2021 advisories for worn front brake discs and pads have since cleared, the high overall mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of the entire braking system. The buyer should feel for any brake shudder or pulsation under deceleration, which could indicate warped discs, and check for binding calipers that might cause overheating. Given the age and mileage, it is also critical to verify the service history for timing chain health and oil change intervals, as these small engines require strict adherence to lubrication schedules to avoid premature wear of the valve train.
