2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · RF07 LBV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 104,984 miles, the failure just one mile prior highlights recurring issues. The tester flagged a defective front exhaust mounting, imbalanced rear brakes, and an inoperative hazard warning switch. The persistence of the exhaust mounting fault across four consecutive annual tests suggests the owner only addresses components when they cause an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,525 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered only 811 miles total, moving from 104,173 to 104,984. This stagnant mileage pattern suggests the car sits for long periods or is used very sparingly. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres despite lack of mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the imbalance noted in March 2026 indicates potential sticking calipers or worn wheel shoes. The recurring exhaust mounting failure should be checked for structural integrity to ensure vibrations have not damaged the surrounding hangers. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, particular attention should also be paid to corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as stationary vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust that high-mileage cars avoid.
