2014 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · SY14 RKF

The 2014 Peugeot 107 presents a mixed maintenance picture with a clear worsening trend in structural corrosion and brake system integrity, despite its very low recorded mileage. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 27,687 miles passed, but only after a failure three days earlier on 15 August 2025 at the identical mileage. That failure flagged a seriously weakened front sub-frame, excessively worn front suspension arm rear bushes on both sides, corroded rear brake pipe, corroded shock absorbers with damaged casings, and worn front brake discs. The pass certificate confirms these items were rectified, yet the underlying pattern of corrosion advisories has persisted across multiple years. The vehicle's structural condition appears to be deteriorating faster than its mileage would suggest, pointing to prolonged standing or damp storage rather than active use. The mileage trajectory is notably flat across the entire MOT record. Between the August 2023 pass at 20,880 miles and the August 2025 tests at 27,687 miles, the vehicle covered just 6,807 miles over two years, averaging 3,404 miles annually. Before that, the gap between 2023 and the 2024 failure at 23,524 miles shows only 2,644 miles in roughly twelve months. This is exceptionally low annual use for a petrol city car and strongly indicates extended periods of inactivity. Such dormancy accelerates rubber perishing, brake seizure, and underbody corrosion, which is precisely what the record reveals. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front sub-frame and suspension mounting points, given the 2025 failure for serious weakening. Check for fresh welding or coating that might mask ongoing corrosion. The rear brake pipe has appeared corroded in three separate tests across 2024 and 2025, suggesting the entire brake line set may need replacement. Front brake discs have been flagged as worn and pitted in three consecutive years from 2024 to 2025, indicating either poor-quality replacements or a binding caliper issue that has never been properly diagnosed. All four shock absorbers were noted as corroded with casing damage in 2025, and the rear sub-frame has carried a corrosion advisory since 2024. Examine the underside thoroughly for active scaling or moisture retention, particularly around the rear floor pan and suspension mounting points. The 2024 failure for cut rear tyres reaching the cords also suggests the vehicle may have been driven with damaged rubber for some time, potentially causing secondary damage to wheel bearings or suspension geometry.
