2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · PY61 EYL

This Peugeot 107 has maintained a clean MOT history through its most recent tests, with the last successful inspection occurring just over two years ago on 25 June 2024 at 39,897 miles. The absence of any advisories or defects across the past three MOT cycles—including the 2023 and 2022 tests—indicates no recurring mechanical issues were recorded by the tester. While this suggests a stable roadworthiness pattern, the extended gap since the last MOT (nearly 24 months) means critical components like brakes, suspension, and emissions systems have not undergone official verification. The vehicle’s compliance with MOT standards at the time of testing does not guarantee current condition, particularly given the age-related wear expected on a 14-year-old model. The recorded mileage of 39,897 miles aligns with a conservative usage pattern, averaging approximately 2,850 miles annually—a figure well below the typical depreciation curve for this class of vehicle. The intervals between tests show consistent low mileage accumulation: 2,765 miles between the 2022 and 2023 MOTs, and 2,765 miles again between 2023 and 2024. While this suggests minimal high-speed or heavy-duty usage, it also implies prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation of fluids, seals, and rubber components. The lack of advisories does not preclude hidden corrosion or wear in underbody areas, wheel arches, or suspension mounts, which are common failure points in vehicles of this age. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but critical for handling and safety. The brakes, though not flagged in past tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common in vehicles with extended MOT gaps. Structural corrosion, particularly in the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, should be checked for signs of penetration or weakening, as this can compromise the vehicle’s structural integrity over time. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are frequently missed in routine checks but can lead to emissions failures or driveability issues.
