2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SL58 VKW

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is questionable due to a worsening trend in structural and mechanical neglect. While the car passed its last test in December 2021 at 89,300 miles, that record is now over four years out of date. The history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, evidenced by a significant failure in December 2021 involving critical brake failures, a major exhaust leak, and structural corrosion that was only partially addressed to secure a pass five days later. The vehicle exhibits a low mileage profile for its age, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. However, the data reveals a concerning gap in activity; between December 2019 at 85,586 miles and December 2021 at 89,300 miles, the car covered only 3,714 miles. Long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of braking components, which aligns with the recurring reports of binding calipers and perished bushes found in the MOT history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity. The December 2021 test flagged corrosion on both the inner and outer sills, which is a terminal issue for a vehicle of this age if not treated. Attention is also required for the braking system, as the record shows a persistent history of binding brakes and uneven efficiency across 2020 and 2021. Furthermore, the anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm ball joints have shown repeated signs of wear, suggesting the suspension assembly is nearing the end of its functional life despite the low mileage.
