2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · ST06 VNM

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a recent improvement following a period of significant structural and mechanical decline. While the January 2024 test at 86,410 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, the preceding failure on January 10, 2024, at 86,404 miles revealed serious safety concerns. That failure highlighted significant corrosion to the floor pan and the nearside integral body structure, alongside a compromised seat belt anchorage. The successful pass suggests these major structural issues were addressed, but the history indicates a vehicle that has struggled with advanced age-related deterioration. The mileage pattern reflects very low usage for a 2006 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,320 miles per year. The recorded data shows a jump from 79,255 miles in January 2023 to 86,410 miles in January 2024. This steady, low-level accumulation often correlates with the type of corrosion seen in the records, as vehicles that sit for long periods are more susceptible to moisture retention and surface rust in hard-to-reach areas like sills and brake pipes. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity. The records from November 2022 and January 2024 specifically flagged corrosion in the inner sills, suspension component mountings, and the floor pan. Although the most recent test passed, the previous tester noted that the vehicle had been welded and covered in black paint, which can sometimes mask ongoing oxidation. You should carefully inspect all welding repairs and check for bubbling paint or fresh rust along the sills and underbody. Mechanical scrutiny should also focus on the braking and suspension systems. The history shows recurring issues with corroded brake pipes and worn suspension arm bushes between 2022 and 2023. While these appear to have been managed, the repeated presence of these faults suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. Check the condition of the brake lines for any signs of weeping or surface corrosion and ensure the suspension components are free from excessive play.
