2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · PK57 JSV

The Peugeot 107 shows a concerning trend of worsening mechanical condition as it ages, evidenced by the failure in December 2025 at 86,883 miles. While the vehicle successfully passed its annual inspections for several years, the most recent test required significant intervention for a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber and an insecure anti-roll bar linkage. These failures, combined with ongoing advisories for a noisy rear wheel bearing and tyre wear, suggest that the vehicle is now entering a phase where more frequent and costly repairs are necessary to maintain roadworthiness. With an average annual mileage of approximately 4,573 miles, the vehicle has seen light usage over its nineteen-year lifespan. The consistent testing intervals suggest the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps prevent issues related to seized components or stale fuel. However, the low mileage has not shielded the vehicle from the inevitable degradation of rubber bushes, suspension seals, and brake hardware that comes with age. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry, as anti-roll bar linkages and shock absorbers have been recurring points of failure since 2016. The history of corroded brake pipes noted in 2018 and 2019 warrants a careful check of the underside to ensure that previous repairs were permanent and that no new structural corrosion has developed. Given the recent advisory regarding the offside rear wheel bearing and tyre condition, you should also verify the state of the rear hubs and ensure the tyres are matched and correctly tracked to avoid premature wear.
