2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WM12 EBX

The roadworthiness profile for this 2012 Peugeot 107 is exceptionally clean, with four consecutive MOT passes at the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 test dates and zero advisories or failures recorded against any test entry. The most recent examination on 4 June 2025 produced a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that no examiner-identified concerns were outstanding at that point. Across the entire documented test history, there are no recurring wear patterns, no structural advisories, no corrosion flags, and no brake or suspension defects, which collectively indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically within DVSA test thresholds throughout its documented life. For a prospective buyer, this represents one of the most reassuring MOT histories available on a fourteen-year-old car, removing the usual concerns around chronic component wear that typically surface on small city cars of this generation. Recorded mileage of 55,039 miles against a 2012 manufacture date equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 3,931 miles per year, which is substantially below the average for a vehicle of this age and type. Peugeot 107s are commonly used as urban runabouts and short-commute cars, often accumulating 6,000 to 10,000 miles annually, so this particular example has either been used sparingly or has spent significant periods stationary between uses. The test intervals shown, with entries in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, are consistent with annual testing but also suggest the vehicle may have had gaps in active service, as four MOT records over a fourteen-year life is itself an indicator of intermittent use or a period off the road. Mechanically, low annual mileage of this nature tends to preserve major drivetrain components such as the engine, clutch, and gearbox internals, but it does raise the likelihood of corrosion seizing on infrequently used parts such as brake calipers, handbrake mechanisms, and underbody fasteners. For a prospective buyer conducting a physical inspection, the absence of any flagged advisories means there is no specific component history to target, but the low-mileage usage pattern warrants particular attention to items that degrade through standing rather than through distance covered. On a test drive, listen for any binding or grinding from the front wheels under light braking, which would indicate seized caliper slide pins or pistons from prolonged inactivity, and confirm the car pulls forward and rearward in a straight line when releasing the handbrake on a gentle slope to verify the rear brake mechanism has not seized. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on brake pipes, fuel lines, and suspension arms, as prolonged standing in damp conditions can initiate rust even on otherwise well-maintained components, and check that all undertray fixings and exhaust rubber mountings are intact rather than perished. Additional checks appropriate to this vehicle include a cold-start observation for any excessive smoke or rough idle, which would suggest infrequent-use issues such as stale fuel fouling or oil draining from upper engine components, and a thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread for flat-spotting from standing. Test the clutch bite point for any hesitation or judder, which on a low-mileage 107 can indicate a glazed clutch plate from short, cold journeys rather than wear from use. Verify operation of all auxiliary systems including the heater blower, air conditioning, and electric windows, as these Peugeot models are known for fragile window regulators. Finally, confirm the service history documentation supports the recorded mileage and that regular oil changes have been performed regardless of annual distance covered, since infrequent use without timely servicing is a more common cause of engine wear on low-mileage examples than high annual accumulation.
