2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SL08 UYR

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently critical and shows a significant worsening trend in structural integrity. While the car passed tests in previous years, the most recent MOT conducted in January 2022 at 90,780 miles resulted in a major failure. The report identifies extensive structural damage and corrosion across the rear suspension mounting points and sills, indicating that the vehicle's chassis-related rigidity has been severely compromised. The vehicle exhibits low annual mileage for its age, having covered approximately 5,043 miles per year to reach the current 90,780 miles. However, there is a notable gap in usage history; between January 2020 (24,231 miles) and January 2022 (82,495 miles), the car covered over 58,000 miles in a single year. This period of heavy use likely correlates with the degradation of mechanical and structural components observed in the subsequent inspections. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear arches and underbody. The 2022 failure highlighted severe corrosion on the inner sills, inner wheel arches, and suspension mounting areas, which require expensive professional welding to be rectified. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the parking brake functionality, as it was previously noted as inoperative and inefficient, and check the exhaust system for the leaks and lambda reading issues identified during the last test.
