2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WL07 NUV

A pattern of corrosion‑related advisories combined with repeated wheel‑damage failures dominates this 2007 Peugeot 107’s MOT history; the vehicle has struggled with brake‑pipe rust, deteriorating suspension mounting points and distorted front wheels, yet the most recent test on 14 September 2026 recorded a clean pass with no defects noted. Earlier in the same year a dangerous failure was logged for the parking‑brake efficiency, and in 2024 the MOT revealed badly distorted front wheels and excessive play in the near‑side front wheel bearing, indicating that structural and steering‑component integrity has been a recurring concern. At 113 685 mi the car averages just under 6 000 mi per year, a mileage figure low for a nineteen‑year‑old vehicle and suggestive of long periods of light use or storage. Such intermittent usage can accelerate the ageing of rubber seals, hoses and bushings, while the low annual accumulation does not offset the wear already accrued on consumables such as brake pads and tyres. No significant gaps appear in the MOT chronology, but the abrupt rise to over 110 000 mi within the last few years means the remaining life of wear items may be approaching the end of their service intervals. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the brake system: the advisory on a corroded front‑to‑rear brake pipe (2025) and thin front pads (2024) can manifest as reduced pedal feel, sponginess or a gradual loss of braking efficiency, while the off‑side rear service‑brake binding noted in 2024 may cause uneven braking or a pulling sensation under load. Inspect the parking‑brake mechanism for firm engagement, as a dangerous failure was recorded in 2026, and verify that the hand‑brake holds the vehicle on a gradient. Examine the wheel rims and hubs for signs of distortion, wobble or excessive play, especially on the near‑side front where a bearing fault and wheel‑shape defect were flagged in 2024; listen for grinding or humming noises during a low‑speed drive and feel for vibration through the steering column at higher speeds. The suspension and under‑body corrosion advisories (2025, 2024, 2022) call for a visual check of the outer sills, coil springs and rear axle mounting points for rust, cracked bushings or compromised structural integrity; any looseness when pushing down on the corners or a clunking sound over bumps could indicate deteriorated mounting areas. The minor rear‑exhaust leak noted in 2025 should be confirmed by a brief engine‑run test for audible hissing or visible soot around the exhaust tailpipe. Finally, the 2026 dangerous emissions failure and the 2025 MIL fault suggest that the engine management system may have unresolved issues; a diagnostic scan for stored fault codes and a brief idle‑run test for roughness or stalling are advisable before committing to purchase.
