2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WL12 HTZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently assessed as satisfactory, though the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of deterioration rather than a stable pattern. The most recent test in April 2026 was passed at 105,789 miles with no recorded defects, establishing a baseline for current condition. However, the subsequent tests in August 2025, specifically on the 20th, show that the vehicle has experienced a significant loss of roadworthiness since the initial pass. The most recent failure on August 20, 2025, occurred at 100,308 miles, which is a reduction of approximately 5,481 miles from the April 2026 test. This gap in the MOT record suggests that the vehicle has been under significant stress over the last two years, with the most recent inspection occurring just two weeks prior to the failure. The mileage accumulation pattern reveals a notable discrepancy between the vehicle's age and its current operational status. The 2012 model is approximately 14 years old, yet the vehicle has accumulated roughly 7,556 miles per year. This high mileage rate is consistent with the vehicle's age and is likely attributable to the severe mechanical failures observed in the August 2025 test. The rapid mileage increase since the April 2026 test, which was 14,501 miles, suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained at a standard interval. The lack of a clean MOT record between the April and August 2025 tests indicates that basic upkeep was skipped or that the vehicle was driven in a way that accelerated wear on critical components. Based on the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the history, the buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems in person. The most significant hazard is the constant velocity boot on the nearside outer drive shaft, which has deteriorated severely and is now causing a major leak of exhaust gases. This structural failure indicates that the joint is no longer able to maintain its integrity, posing a serious risk of catastrophic failure. Additionally, the central exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases, which is a critical emission issue requiring immediate attention. The front suspension arm and wishbone arms have corroded but not seriously weakened, suggesting that while surface damage exists, the structural load-bearing capacity may still be compromised. The rear axle surface corrosion and sub-frame issues indicate that the rear suspension is also in a state of significant wear, which could lead to a similar loss of roadworthiness if not addressed. The buyer must verify the condition of these specific components before proceeding, as the vehicle's mechanical integrity has deteriorated substantially since its initial pass in April 2026.
