2014 Peugeot 107 Active 1.0L Petrol · SY14 MMU

The 2014 Peugeot 107 Active currently holds a clean MOT issued on 2026-06-01 at 105,760 miles with zero defects recorded. This represents a significant improvement over the February 2025 failure at 98,907 miles, where the tester flagged excessive corrosion on rear suspension mountings, multiple corroded brake pipes, and worn front suspension arm bushes. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. The vehicle has moved from a state of serious structural and hydraulic concern to a fully compliant pass within approximately 15 months, suggesting the previous owner invested in meaningful repairs rather than simply patching through successive tests. The mileage profile is straightforward and consistent with typical use. The car has covered roughly 105,760 miles over 12 years, averaging approximately 8,813 miles per year. The recorded intervals show steady accumulation: 95,205 miles in February 2024, 98,907 miles by February 2025, and 105,107 miles by May 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance. The annual mileage is moderate and unremarkable, pointing to regular rather than intensive use, which generally favours longevity of mechanical components provided servicing has been maintained. Despite the clean June 2026 result, the February 2025 failure record warrants close attention during any physical inspection. Excessive corrosion on rear suspension axle mountings and corroded brake pipes are not minor consumable issues; they indicate the vehicle was operating with compromised structural integrity and degraded hydraulic braking circuits. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the underside for any recurrence of corrosion at the rear subframe and axle mounting points, paying particular attention to the offside rear mounting area where structural strength was specifically cited as significantly reduced. Brake pipe condition across all four corners should be examined for fresh replacements or signs of ongoing surface corrosion beneath any protective coatings. The front lower suspension arm bushes also showed excessive wear and splitting at the February 2025 test, with both nearside and offside arms flagged. Any clunking over uneven surfaces or vague steering feedback during a test drive would suggest these components have not been replaced. The front sub-frame and lower arms were noted as corroded but not seriously weakened at that time, so a current inspection should verify whether this corrosion has progressed. Given the vehicle's age and the severity of defects recorded just over a year ago, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on structural corrosion and suspension bush condition is strongly advisable before committing to the purchase.
