2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SP58 MLZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend regarding structural integrity and transparency. While the most recent test in December 2024 at 70,726 miles passed, the tester noted the underbody was heavily undersealed with visible evidence of previous repairs. This follows a problematic 2023 inspection where heavy black underseal prevented a full assessment of the suspension and underbody, specifically masking a repair to the rear axle mounting points that had been covered over with filler. At 70,726 miles, this eighteen-year-old Peugeot shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data indicates significant gaps in usage between October 2021 and December 2023, where the car covered only 1,415 miles in two years. This low mileage explains the lack of heavy wear on mechanical components like the drivetrain, but it also suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods. Such usage patterns often leads to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the underbody to verify the extent of the structural rust. The 2023 report of hidden rear axle mounting repairs is a major red flag, as filler prevents a definitive check of the strength of the welds or metal. Furthermore, the 2021 failure for a binding offside rear service brake and poor parking brake efficiency indicates that the braking system is prone to seizing after periods of inactivity. You should check for uneven wear on the tyres and ensure the handbrake mechanism remains fully adjusted, as the previous tester noted it was only marginally acceptable.
