2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SD61 EXE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and braking integrity. While the car passed its September 2024 test at 93,488 miles, this followed a significant failure just three days prior. That failure highlighted multiple critical issues, including a leaking rear hydraulic cylinder, an inoperative parking brake, and inadequate braking effort. Although these specific braking faults were rectified, the persistent presence of corrosion across all four brake pipes indicates a lack of preventative treatment against rust. At 93,488 miles over 15 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use city driving. The data shows a notable gap in records between August 2021 at 71,703 miles and September 2023 at 80,599 miles, suggesting the car covered fewer than 9,000 miles in two years. The subsequent 13,000 miles driven between 2023 and 2024 shows an increase in usage that accelerated the degradation of aging mechanical components. A buyer must physically inspect the front sub-frame, as corrosion has been a recurring advisory since 2021. While the 2024 report noted the frame was not yet seriously weakened, the nature of the rust suggests the structural integrity of the chassis is slowly declining. The presence of grease on corroded brake pipes noted in 2024 is also a red flag, often used to hide corrosion from the tester, necessitating a thorough check of the hydraulic lines to ensure they are not nearing imminent failure.
