2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WD07 OBM

The latest MOT test for the 2007 Peugeot 107 concluded with a PASS, indicating that the vehicle met all regulatory standards at the time of inspection. However, the historical record reveals a pattern of advisories and minor defects over the years, suggesting a mixed maintenance trajectory. The 2025 MOT highlighted rear sub-frame corrosion without structural compromise, while earlier years such as 2021 and 2022 showed no issues, pointing to a generally stable service record. The 2020 and 2019 tests both failed, with notable concerns around the rear tyre and brake discs, which could signal early wear or design limitations under stress. These recurring advisories warrant careful attention to the tyre condition, sidewall integrity, and brake disc health during the inspection. The recorded mileage of 49,364 miles places the vehicle in the upper end for its age, approximately 2,598 miles per year. This is significantly higher than the typical 2,000–2,500 mileage range for a 19-year-old car, suggesting heavier usage or longer periods of stationary operation. Such a rate increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on critical systems including suspension components, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The buyer should be particularly vigilant for signs of uneven tyre wear, which can indicate alignment issues or suspension problems, and for any unusual clunking or vibration during braking. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural and mechanical wear. Check for any cracks or perishing on the sidewalls, especially around the rear, and assess the condition of the rear tyre for signs of damage or excessive cracking. The 5.2.3 (d) advisories point to potential issues with the rear tyre and disc, so observing how the vehicle handles and brakes is essential. Additionally, verify the battery health and ensure all fluid levels are adequate, as time-based servicing has likely been missed. The corroded rear exhaust box hangers noted in the 2022 MOT could also be a concern if they affect exhaust flow or emissions performance. In summary, while the recent MOT passed, the vehicle’s history suggests a need for proactive maintenance checks. The buyer should expect to see wear patterns consistent with higher mileage and frequent use, particularly in the suspension, brakes, and tyres. A careful walk-through of these areas will help determine if the car remains roadworthy or if further intervention is required before purchase.
