2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SC09 AWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a stable to worsening trend regarding mechanical degradation and structural corrosion. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 70,455 miles, this result followed a failure just four days prior due to incorrect tyre fitting and recurring mechanical faults. The tester identified persistent issues with the steering rack, brake pipe corrosion, and exhaust leaks that have remained unaddressed across multiple years, suggesting the owner performs only the minimum repairs required to pass testing rather than addressing underlying mechanical wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,144 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2023 at 63,460 miles and September 2024 at 64,683 miles, where the car covered only 1,223 miles in over sixteen months. This low usage often correlates with the accelerated surface corrosion noted in the records, as stationary vehicles are more susceptible to moisture retention and rust without the protective heat generated by regular operation. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody and chassis, as the record consistently flags integral body structure corrosion since 2023. The offside rear brake pipe and front coil spring mountings show clear signs of decay that will eventually progress to structural failure if not monitored. The steering rack's slight free play has been a recorded fault since 2024, indicating internal component wear that may soon require expensive replacement. Additionally, the binding offside rear brake and the distorted nearside rear rim require a physical check to ensure they have not caused uneven tyre wear or compromised the bearing assembly.
