2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SD62 HTJ

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable following the most recent test result. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the failure on 10 November 2025 at 93,900 miles without any recorded defects in the history suggests a potential administrative recording error or a highly specific tester-led rejection rather than a systemic mechanical collapse. Given that seven months have passed since this failure, the vehicle is now out of its MOT period and requires an immediate inspection to ensure it remains legal for road. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 9,373 miles, showing a steady usage of roughly 4,700 miles annually. The subsequent interval of 1,982 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests indicates a slight increase in frequency. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of corrosion on brake components and dry-rott in rubber due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the undercarriage and suspension system. Because the vehicle is fourteen years old, the record may mask structural rust on the rear subframe or exhaust mounting points which often fail on this model despite low mileage. Check for binding calipers and pitted brake discs, as low-mileage use often leads to components seizing. The unexplained failure in November 2023 followed by an immediate pass warrants a close look at the emissions system and lighting electronics to ensure no intermittent faults were merely addressed with temporary fixes.
