2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SF13 UAY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 35,048 miles resulted in a failure due to an ineffective windscreen wiper and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. While the car passed upon retest, the recurring presence of an oil leak and worn tyres suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT certificate. At 13 years old with 35,048 miles, this Peugeot has been driven at exceptionally low intervals, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the degradation of rubber components, as seen in the 2020 and 2021 tests where all four tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking. There is a notable gap in testing records between July 2022 and March 2023, indicating the vehicle likely sat stationary for an extended period, which often leads to the mechanical issues like brake inefficiency and surface corrosion recorded later. A buyer must personally inspect the engine bay for the persistent oil leak, which has appeared in almost every test since 2022. Although the tester noted the leak was not excessive, the recurring corrosion on the oil filter and suspension components poses a risk of structural degradation if left untreated. The 2025 advisory regarding the parking brake efficiency only just meeting the requirement necessitates a thorough check of the handbrake mechanism and rear drums to ensure they are not seizing or excessively worn out due to the low-mileage usage pattern.
