2009 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WN09 UDB

The defining mechanical story for this Peugeot 107 is one of an extremely sparse MOT history, with very little recorded evidence to either reassure or warn a prospective buyer. Across the available DVSA records spanning several years, the vehicle alternates between pass and fail outcomes without any specific advisories or defects being logged, and crucially, the most recent test on 24 June 2024 resulted in a failure with no defects recorded. This lack of detail makes it impossible to verify the mechanical condition directly from the database, and the absence of advisory notes on the passing tests means routine wear items such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components have not been documented for inspection reference. The pattern of pass/fail/pass/fail around the 2022 and 2023 test dates suggests the vehicle was likely rectified off-site between tests, but the precise nature of those failures remains unknown from the official record alone. Recorded mileage of 154,800 miles over seventeen years equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 9,100 miles, which is broadly consistent with typical mixed-use driving for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden mileage jumps that would suggest extended periods off the road or inconsistent usage, meaning the mechanical wear profile should be reasonably steady and predictable for a city-focused supermini. However, at this overall mileage, even a well-maintained example will be approaching the latter stages of life for several major drivetrain and chassis components, particularly given the relatively simple but hardworking nature of the 1.0-litre petrol engine and manual transmission found in this model. The absence of recorded advisories means any component degradation has not been officially documented, placing the onus entirely on a physical inspection. Given the lack of specific defect information, a prospective buyer should focus their inspection on the components most likely to show wear at this mileage in a small, light vehicle of this age. The suspension should be examined carefully for worn bushes, weak coil springs, and any knocking from the front struts or rear axle, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Peugeot 107s. On a test drive, listen for clonking over speed bumps, pay attention to any wandering or instability in the steering, and check that the car settles quickly after cornering. Brake feel should be assessed for any pulling to one side, grinding noises, or a soft pedal, all of which would suggest worn discs, pads, or potentially a binding caliper that has not yet been flagged on an MOT. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine should be started from cold and observed for any excessive smoke from the exhaust, unusual rattles from the timing chain area, or rough running that could indicate sensor wear or ignition coil issues common on these units. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine, gearbox, or steering rack, and check for corrosion around the rear axle, exhaust mounting points, and suspension subframes, as these areas are vulnerable on older vehicles that have seen regular winter road use. Finally, verify that all warning lights illuminate correctly and clear after start-up, confirm the cooling system is free of leaks and the coolant is at the correct strength, and ensure that the clutch operates smoothly without slipping or juddering, as clutch wear at this mileage is a common and potentially expensive rectification on this model.
