2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · PE08 TYB

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance history indicates a clear, worsening trend in suspension and braking components. The most recent test on 2026-02-11 at 106,288 miles passed with only minor cosmetic issues, yet the failure on 2025-03-06 at 101,663 miles reveals that the front suspension bushings and arm pins are already showing signs of perishing, a condition that has persisted since the initial 2026 test. This rapid decline in performance suggests the owner has been neglecting critical structural integrity checks, likely by skipping routine inspections or performing them too infrequently. The mileage accumulation is not uniform, creating a significant gap between the 2026 test and the 2025 failure. The vehicle achieved 106,288 miles on 2026-02-11, which is approximately 5,905 miles per year, but by 2025-03-06 it had fallen to 101,663 miles, representing a drop of over 4,600 miles. This gap indicates that the owner may have driven the car very little or maintained it under conditions that caused accelerated wear on the suspension and brakes, confirming that the vehicle is not currently being used for its intended purpose. Given the recurring faults in the suspension bushings, arm pins, and brake disc condition, a buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the integrity of these components. The history shows that the brakes have been excessively binding on multiple occasions, and the front suspension bushings are perishing, which would likely cause the vehicle to become unsafe within the next few years. While the MOT has passed, the underlying mechanical risks are too high to ignore, and the owner should consider whether they have maintained the vehicle at a level that allows for the necessary checks and repairs.
