2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SD61 EXC

The vehicle is currently in a passing roadworthiness state, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition. The most recent test on 2024-09-10 at 100,914 miles was passed, yet the vehicle has failed twice on the same date, suggesting a pattern of neglect rather than consistent upkeep. This failure occurred in September 2024, immediately following a successful test in February 2023, which implies that the vehicle has likely been left in the UK for over two years despite being approximately 15 years old. The rapid mileage accumulation over the last six months, from 91,476 miles in February 2023 to 100,914 miles in September 2024, suggests that the owner may have been absent from the UK or the vehicle was driven less frequently, leading to accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The specific faults identified in the MOT record highlight significant structural and consumable wear that requires immediate attention. While the suspension and brakes have been passed, the history reveals multiple instances of failure where components were not properly maintained or repaired. The most critical finding is the nearside front headlamp not working on a dipped beam, which indicates a failure of the optical assembly or its mounting. This is compounded by the Front Brake disc worn significantly and obviously, which suggests that the brake pads or rotors may need replacement due to friction and heat buildup. The exhaust emissions are likely to be affected by a leak, which could indicate a cracked exhaust manifold or hose that requires inspection and potential repair. Additionally, the rear windscreen wiper blade is defective, and the underbody is corroded, both of which point to a lack of regular cleaning and detailing. The structural integrity of the subframe mounting area is also compromised, which could lead to further structural failure if not addressed. In summary, the vehicle is currently in a passing state but is in a deteriorating condition requiring immediate professional assessment. A buyer must inspect the vehicle personally to check the condition of the underbody and subframe, as these areas are prone to corrosion and structural damage. The brake system, particularly the disc and rotor, and the front headlamp assembly, are the primary areas of concern given the two failed tests and the history of wear. Furthermore, the suspension bushings and coil springs are corroded but not seriously weakened, which may require adjustment but do not indicate a complete failure. The owner should also verify the parking brake efficiency, as it was only just met in the most recent test. Given the recurring faults and the rapid mileage increase, the vehicle is not currently roadworthy and must be serviced urgently to prevent further damage to the chassis and suspension.
