2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · PF63 FEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and aging components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 88,217 miles passed, the tester identified corrosion on the subframe. Although this was not classified as a serious weakness, the presence of rust on a primary structural component in a vehicle of this age indicates the beginning of a process that will eventually require expensive intervention if not monitored. The mileage pattern is consistent with a city-driven car, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over its 13-year life. Between the September 2023 test at 83,380 miles and the September 2024 test at 86,105 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,725 miles. This low annual usage explains the recurring issues with perishing rubber, such as the cracking on the tyres, which suffer from age and exposure rather than high mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The September 2023 record flagged multiple failures in the front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages. While these were noted as not resulting in excessive movement at the time, they represent components nearing their service life. Similarly, the front brake discs were described as pitted and scored in 2023 and should be checked for thickness and surface condition to ensure they are not thinning. The structural integrity of the subframe remains the primary long-term concern. Given the 2025 advisory for corrosion, a technician should verify if the rust is merely surface or if it is compromising the metal. Additionally, the recurring failures of the registration plate lamp and headlamp suggest an owner who only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking, as the record shows persistent perishing issues across multiple tests.
