2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SY11 THU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2 May 2025 at 81,880 miles, representing a clear pass after an immediate retest the following day at 81,822 miles. The same pattern occurred in May 2024, with a failure recorded on 16 May followed by a pass on 17 May at 77,908 miles. While the records do not specify which items caused the initial failures, the fact that both retests occurred the next day strongly suggests minor, addressable items were corrected rather than fundamental mechanical failures. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle achieving a clean pass on each occasion it was presented for retesting. At approximately 5,459 miles per year over its fifteen-year life, this Peugeot 107 falls well below the UK average annual mileage of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles. The mileage accumulation between tests is modest: roughly 5,000 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, and approximately 3,900 miles in the eleven months leading up to the April 2025 failure. The 58-mile increase between the April 2025 failure and the May 2025 pass indicates the vehicle was driven only briefly between the two tests, consistent with a quick repair and immediate retest. The low annual mileage suggests the car has spent considerable time stationary, which raises the possibility of moisture-related issues such as corroded brake components, seized caliper sliders, or perished rubber bushes that may not manifest during a brief MOT inspection. The absence of recorded defects on both failure entries is unusual and limits the ability to identify specific components requiring attention. However, the pattern of same-week retests on a low-mileage urban vehicle warrants close physical inspection of the brake system, including caliper operation, disc condition, and pad thickness, as binding brakes are a common failure point on lightly used vehicles of this age. Suspension components should also be examined carefully, particularly the shock absorber mounts and control arm bushes, which can deteriorate through inactivity rather than high mileage. The exhaust system and emissions should be checked given the age of the vehicle, as rubber mounts and hangers become brittle over time. The current MOT certificate expired in May 2026, so a new test will be required before the vehicle can be legally driven.
