2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SM09 PBO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of minor mechanical instability. The most recent test conducted in September 2023 at 75,423 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. This transition represents an improving trend compared to the late-2022 period where the car failed on multiple points, suggesting the current owner is proactive in performing necessary repairs after a failure. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,423 miles reflects an average of approximately 4,437 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short local trips or remained stationary for extended periods. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered 6,616 miles, showing a consistent but low consumption pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the seizing of braking hardware due to age rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system due to the recurring issues in the history. The August 2022 failure at 70,430 miles highlighted an excessively binding offside rear brake and fluctuating discs on both front wheels. Although the car passed the subsequent test, the presence of fluctuating brakes often indicates thin or warped rotor discs. The buyer should check for uneven wear and ensure calipers are sliding properly. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the exhaust system and suspension bushes is also essential, as low-use cars often suffer from surface rust rather than mileage-related wear.
