2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WL13 ACO

The Peugeot 107 in question presents a stable roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects logged in any of the five tests conducted between October 2023 and November 2025. The most recent assessment, dated November 2025 at 74,307 miles, confirms the vehicle met all DVSA criteria without advisories or failures—an outcome repeated in the prior November 2024 test at 74,058 miles. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the car has either been well-maintained by its previous owners or has simply avoided common wear issues typical of its age. That said, the back-to-back passes and fails on the same day in both 2024 and 2025 is unusual and may imply administrative errors or a deliberate pattern, though no technical issues were recorded to explain it. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,307 over 13 years—roughly 5,716 miles annually—is exceptionally low for its age, indicating either infrequent use, long periods of inactivity, or a combination of both. The near-identical mileage between tests (e.g., 74,058 in November 2024 to 74,307 in November 2025) suggests minimal movement over the past year, which could mean the car has been stored or used sparingly. Such low mileage reduces wear on critical components like brakes, suspension bushes, and drivetrain seals, but it also raises questions about fluid degradation—oils, brake fluid, and coolant may have exceeded their service intervals. Without service history, a buyer should verify that fluids have been recently changed, as stagnation can lead to premature failure in components like the gearbox or cooling system. Given the clean MOT record, no obvious mechanical trends emerge, but a prospective buyer should still inspect key areas in person. Pay close attention to the suspension—check for worn or cracked bushes, sagging coil springs, or uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues. The braking system should be tested for responsiveness, with particular focus on the rear brakes, as binding calipers or uneven disc thickness are common in older Peugeots. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the absence of corrosion advisories, but a thorough check for surface rust around wheel arches, sills, and underseal is prudent. Finally, verify that all fluids—engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and power steering—are at the correct levels and appear fresh, as the low mileage history may mask neglected maintenance. While the MOT history offers reassurance, the unusual testing pattern and stagnant mileage warrant caution. The car’s lack of defects does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in areas not routinely inspected during MOTs, such as the exhaust system for leaks or the interior for wear-and-tear on electrical components. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be advisable to confirm the vehicle’s true condition beyond the DVSA’s basic checks.
