2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WM10 AAX

A consistent pattern of front-tyre wear on both nearside and offside edges defines the mechanical picture of this 2010 Peugeot 107, with the same advisory appearing at three consecutive MOT tests over 2022, 2024, and 2025, alongside a recurring minor defect for a faulty hazard warning switch flagged in 2023 and again in 2024. The vehicle continues to pass its roadworthiness examinations, the most recent on 18 September 2025 recording no failures, but the repetition of edge wear on both front tyres across multiple seasons suggests a persistent geometry or suspension issue rather than isolated tyre ageing. The hazard switch defect was successfully resolved between the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating that straightforward electrical rectification has been carried out, but the underlying cause of the front-tyre wear pattern has evidently not been addressed across the full testing history shown. With only 33,448 miles recorded over approximately sixteen years, this 107 has covered around 2,090 miles annually, a notably low accumulation that places the vehicle firmly in the low-mileage category. Such limited annual usage typically results in lighter wear on major drivetrain and braking components but increases the likelihood of drying and hardening of rubber and polymer items, including suspension bushes, engine mountings, and driveshaft gaiters, as well as increased susceptibility to corrosion through infrequent use. There are no extended gaps between MOT tests that would suggest a long period off the road, with tests recorded at broadly annual intervals, so the low mileage appears to reflect genuinely light running rather than lay-up periods. The annual mileage shows no sudden jumps or inconsistencies that would raise concerns about odometer irregularity or clocked readings. For a prospective buyer, the front-tyre wear pattern should be the primary focus of any pre-purchase evaluation, as it points to a misalignment, worn suspension components, or possibly weak front strut top mounts given the dual-sided inner edge wear recorded. A test drive should include firm braking from speed to check for pulling to either side, which would confirm uneven geometry, and the car should be driven over uneven road surfaces to listen for knocking or clonking from the front suspension that would suggest worn wishbone bushes, drop links, or anti-roll bar mountings. Steering response should be checked for any vagueness or self-centring problems, and the front tyres themselves should be inspected for feathering on the inner or outer edges, as the persistent advisory suggests the replacement tyres may simply be following the same wear trajectory as the previous set. The faulty hazard warning switch flagged in both 2023 and 2024, while only a minor defect, warrants a brief functional check of all dashboard illumination, indicators, and hazard operation, as intermittent electrical faults on ageing Peugeot 107s can occasionally indicate broader wiring loom concerns around the indicator stalk and multi-function switch. Given the low recorded mileage, the brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion pitting and any binding, as lightly-used vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on brake components that can cause pedal judder under load. A thorough road test with several moderate to firm brake applications from around 40 mph will confirm whether the braking system remains smooth and balanced, and an inspection beneath the vehicle for any signs of oil misting from the small three-cylinder engine or weeping coolant joints would be prudent given the car has clearly been in service for a considerable number of years regardless of its modest mileage.
