2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SJ06 TSZ

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in suspension degradation and corrosion-related neglect. The most recent test in February 2026 at 72,109 miles identified several high-priority issues, including corroded brake pipes and severely deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers. While the car consistently passes, the recurring appearance of corrosion across the sub-frame, suspension components, and exhaust suggests that the vehicle is beginning to succumb to environmental damage despite its low mechanical mileage. At 72,109 miles, this twenty-year-old Peugeot has covered minimal distances, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the state of certain rubber components, such as the perishing tyres noted in late 2021. However, the data shows a significant jump in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in just thirteen months. This inconsistency in use often leads to the vehicle sitting for long periods, which likely accounts for the persistent brake binding and pitted brake discs documented throughout the record. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the structural corrosion on the sub-frame and rear exhaust. The tester has flagged corrosion in three consecutive years tests, and while currently described as not seriously weakened, the integrity of these components is at risk. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension and rear axle swivel pins, which showed signs of wear in the most recent February 2026 test. The recurring history of worn tyres and binding brakes also indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, meaning components are likely addressed only when they reach a failure threshold.
