2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · PK06 XRC

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of structural degradation and mechanical neglect that requires immediate attention. While it passed its most recent test in December 2023 at 120,261 miles, the record reveals persistent issues with the chassis and rear suspension components. The recurring presence of corrosion on the sub-frame, mounting areas, and integral body structure indicates that the structural integrity of the vehicle is actively declining, though the tester has not yet deemed the rust severe enough to cause failure. At 120,261 miles over twenty years, the car has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage urban use. However, the data shows a significant drop in maintenance standards between December 2021 (99,967 miles) and November 2022 (110,536 miles). This period saw a high volume of critical failures, including an inoperative engine management light, SRS faults, and insufficient brake travel, suggesting the previous owner only addressed faults after failing an MOT rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and suspension mounting points to assess the depth of the rust. The 2023 test noted a minor exhaust leak and corroded coil springs, which should be checked for thinning metal or fractures. Furthermore, the history of worn anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm ball joints suggests the front end geometry is likely nearing the end of its functional life. Given the recorded oil leak from 2022, a close inspection of the engine bay is necessary to ensure the leak has not worsened beyond the initial report.
