2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SC13 KLO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 July 2026, following a failure regarding the windscreen washer system. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the maintenance trend suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. The history shows recurring issues with consumables, such as tyres and lighting, and a concerning progression of corrosion within the braking system. The transition from a major failure for a corroded brake pipe in 2023 to a specific advisory for offside rear brake pipe corrosion in 2026 indicates that while the immediate fault was rectified, the underlying issue of oxidation in the hydraulic lines is a persistent concern that requires close monitoring. With 90,548 miles recorded over approximately thirteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,965 miles per year. This represents relatively low annual usage, which is typical for a small city car but carries specific mechanical implications. While the drivetrain may have seen less total wear than a high-mileage equivalent, low-use vehicles are frequently subject to the effects of standing, such as moisture accumulation in the exhaust, brake disc pitting, and the degradation of rubber components. The recorded mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, but the intermittent nature of the failures suggests the car may spend significant periods stationary, which often leads to the types of component failures seen in the MOT history. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the braking system during a test drive. The advisory regarding the offside rear brake pipe being corroded and covered in grease is a significant indicator of potential future failure. Grease is often used to mask the appearance of corrosion, so you should inspect the brake lines for any signs of weeping fluid or bubbling surfaces. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the rear wheels and feel for a spongy or inconsistent brake pedal, which could indicate air in the system or further degradation of the lines. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs suggests that the braking surfaces are nearing the end of their service life; listen for grinding noises or feel for a pulsating sensation through the brake pedal when decelerating. Given the history of tyre failures and the low annual mileage, a thorough physical inspection of all tyres is essential. Check the sidewalls for signs of perishing, cracking, or dry rot, which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. You should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or perished rubber, as these components often degrade due to age rather than mileage. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that fluids, such as brake fluid and engine oil, have been changed on a calendar basis rather than just by mileage, as moisture contamination in brake fluid is a common cause of the pipe corrosion noted in the official records.
