2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SP63 NDN

A 2013 Peugeot 107 carrying just under fifty thousand miles over thirteen years presents a notably clean MOT profile, with the most recent test on 24 August 2026 returning a pass with no recorded defects and no advisories carried forward. Across the four documented tests there is only one failure, dated 26 June 2025, which recorded a presentable defect on the nearside headlamp aim showing an obviously incorrect projected beam image. The same vehicle returned the following day with a pass, indicating the issue was remedied immediately and was not symptomatic of a deeper electrical or body alignment fault. The earlier advisory items from June 2023 relating to perishing on both rear tyres in size 155/65 R14 are entirely consistent with age-related rubber degradation on a low-mileage urban runabout and have not reappeared in subsequent tests, confirming the tyres were replaced ahead of any further deterioration. Overall the trend is one of stable, if sparingly used, roadworthiness with no escalating defect pattern. The annual mileage accumulation of roughly 3,800 miles per year is significantly below the typical figure for a small city car of this era, which usually averages closer to six to eight thousand miles annually. This low rate of use is evident from the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests and the clustering of two tests on consecutive days in June 2025, suggesting the vehicle has largely been reserved for short local journeys rather than regular long-distance driving. Mechanically, such light use tends to preserve the engine internals, clutch friction material and brake friction surfaces but can accelerate certain wear processes elsewhere. Standing periods encourage brake disc surface corrosion, tyre sidewall cracking through flexing rather than wearing, and the occasional sticking of caliper slides due to infrequent actuation. The original specification of narrow 155-section tyres further suggests the braking system is modest, and given the car's light kerb weight the discs and pads tend to last well in service but suffer corrosion more readily than on heavier vehicles. For a prospective buyer, the headlamp aim failure recorded in 2025 should prompt a close inspection of both headlamp units for condensation behind the lens, cracked or perished adjustment screws, and correct beam pattern projection on a flat surface. Although rectified at the time, plastic headlamp adjusters on early 107s are prone to wear and can allow the unit to drift out of alignment through normal driving, so verifying that the beam remains correctly set and that both adjusters turn smoothly is worthwhile. Given the age-related tyre cracking previously flagged, the rear tyres warrant a visual examination for sidewall perishing, tread depth measurement across the full width, and confirmation of matching size and load rating, as uneven sidewall bulging may indicate age deterioration even where the tread appears adequate. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to brake feel, as low mileage combined with thirteen years of service often results in a slightly rough or grabbing initial pedal bite from corroded disc surfaces. Listen for any scraping or binding at low speed, which would indicate seized caliper slides, and apply the brakes firmly from around thirty miles per hour to check for any lateral vibration through the steering wheel that would suggest disc run-out or uneven pad transfer. Suspension components on the 107 are relatively simple but the front anti-roll bar drop links and rear axle bushes should be inspected for cracking by rocking each wheel side to side at the front and pushing down firmly on each rear corner to detect any clonking over uneven surfaces. Finally, with such modest annual mileage, the battery is likely to be the most frequently replaced item, and a voltage check under load together with confirmation of recent service history for coolant, brake fluid and oil will round out a sensible evaluation of this otherwise tidy low-mileage example.
