2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · RO60 KUB

The 2010 Peugeot 107 shows a maintenance history that is currently stable following its February 2026 test, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding basic consumables and lighting components. While the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections, the repeated advisories concerning tyre condition and brake performance suggest a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The persistence of minor electrical faults, specifically involving hazard and indicator tell-tales, indicates a potential underlying issue with the instrument cluster or wiring loom that has been addressed only superficially over several years. With a recorded mileage of 35,438 over sixteen years, this vehicle has averaged approximately 2,215 miles per annum, which is exceptionally low. While low mileage can imply a well-preserved chassis, it often masks the accelerated degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids that occur during long periods of inactivity. You must verify if the service history confirms regular oil and filter changes, as calendar-based degradation is a significant concern for a vehicle of this age. Furthermore, low-mileage cars are prone to seized brake calipers and corroded discs due to infrequent use, which aligns with the fluctuating brake performance noted in recent MOT history. During your test drive, pay close attention to the braking system. The history of imbalanced and fluctuating brakes suggests that the discs may be pitted or the calipers are binding, which you might experience as a pulsing sensation through the pedal or a pull to one side during firm braking. Ensure you test the hazard warning switch and all dashboard tell-tales thoroughly, as these have been persistent failure points. Listen for any clunking or knocking from the suspension over speed bumps, as the rubber bushes and coil springs may have perished or corroded despite the low mileage. Check the inner sidewalls of the front tyres carefully, as the recent advisories highlight a recurring issue with uneven wear and potential structural damage that could lead to a sudden blowout. Finally, conduct a thorough visual inspection for age-related deterioration. Check the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, which is common in vehicles that sit for extended periods, and inspect the headlamp lenses for clarity, as they have been a frequent source of MOT failure due to clouding. Verify the condition of the 12V battery, as a car with such light usage may have suffered from repeated deep discharges, leading to a shortened lifespan. Given the vehicle's age, ensure the cooling system is free of leaks and that the engine oil is clean, as neglecting time-based maintenance is a common pitfall for low-mileage city cars. If the service book lacks recent entries, budget for an immediate full service, including a brake fluid flush and a thorough inspection of the suspension components.
