2005 Peugeot 1007 1.4L Petrol · SP55 YWF

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of worsening structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its last test in February 2022 at 75,618 miles, the record reveals a persistent history of significant failures that suggest long-term neglect. The lack of any MOT data for over four years as of the current date in June 2026 indicates the vehicle has likely been off the road, which is particularly risky given the advanced corrosion issues identified in the final recorded inspection. At 21 years old, the Peugeot 1007 has been driven with exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. However, the low usage appears to correlate with accelerated environmental damage rather than preservation. Between January 2020 and February 2022, the car covered only 7,270 miles, yet it transitioned from a clean record to a vehicle with multiple major failures. This pattern suggests the car sat stationary for long periods, allowing moisture to attack metal components and rubber seals that would otherwise be kept clear by regular use. A buyer must prioritize a rigorous inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. The record consistently flags corrosion on the front sub-frame, anti-roll bar, and rear chassis legs. In February 2022, the tester noted a corroded sump pan and a full exhaust system that had reached a state of structural weakness. The suspension shows signs of failure, including a fractured offside coil spring, worn ball joints, and perished arm bushes. These are not merely wear items but indicators of deep-seated rust across the chassis. The braking and cooling systems also require immediate scrutiny. The 2022 test identified pitted front brake discs, fluctuating brakes, and a leaking radiator. Recurring issues with non-functional reverse lights and poor wiper performance across multiple years point to a general lack of basic electrical and preventative maintenance. Given the four-year gap since the last recorded MOT, the likelihood that brake hoses have perished or the cooling system has seized is extremely high. Without a comprehensive mechanical overhaul and a fresh structural test, the vehicle represents a high-risk investment.
