2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · VA59 NKF

The 2010 Peugeot 107 presents a largely stable mechanical condition, though the most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 at 76,320 miles flagged an advisory for the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. The maintenance trend is resolving. The tester flagged pitted front brake discs and a parking brake efficiency failure during the test on 2023-04-19 at 61,427 miles. The subsequent retest on 2023-04-21 at 61,432 miles passed, indicating the owner replaced the worn brake discs and rectified the parking brake efficiency. Tyre perishing noted in 2023 has also cleared, reflecting a consumable replacement cycle typical for this low-mileage vehicle. Accumulating 76,320 miles over sixteen years equates to roughly 4,770 miles annually, confirming exceptionally light use. The MOT records support this sparse accumulation: 61,432 miles in April 2023, 68,207 miles in April 2024, 72,609 miles in April 2025, and 76,320 miles in April 2026. This equates to an average annual increase of approximately 3,700 to 4,400 miles across these recent tests. Such minimal mileage often points to short, local journeys, which prevent brake components from self-cleaning and lead to the surface corrosion and pitting observed on the front discs in 2023. Long periods of standing also accelerate tyre perishing, explaining the cracking advisories recorded at the 61,427-mile test. Prospective buyers should inspect the front brake discs and calipers closely, as the historical pitting suggests a past tendency for the discs to corrode rather than wear down from friction. Verify the parking brake lever travel and holding efficiency on a gradient, given the previous failure for parking brake efficiency below requirements. The recurring tyre perishing and edge wear indicate the vehicle sits for extended periods. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres, including the spare, for age-related cracking, regardless of remaining tread depth. Examine the subframes and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles that stand still can develop surface rust on structural components. Suspension bushes and coil springs often remain unworn due to the low mileage, but dry rot or deterioration from age rather than use remains a possibility on a sixteen-year-old vehicle.
