2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · WP61 JDZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 64,245 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories regarding corrosion that were not present previously. This represents a departure from the clean record seen in late 2024, indicating that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related wear despite its relatively low mileage. At 64,245 miles, this 14-year-old Peugeot has averaged approximately 4,600 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2026. This low-frequency usage often reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain, but it frequently correlates with periods of standing, which can lead to the accelerated corrosion of rubber components and metal surfaces as seen in the latest MOT results. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity issues flagged in the January 2026 test. The tester noted corrosion on the front sub-frame, front suspension arms, both MacPherson struts, and the rear suspension arm. While these were classified as not seriously weakened, surface rust on load-bearing components requires close monitoring to ensure it does not progress into structural perforation. You should also check the offside front tyre, which was noted near the legal limit and worn on the edge, suggesting potential alignment issues or uneven wear. The history also highlights a previous failure for a binding offside rear service brake in January 2024. Although this was rectified to pass, a buyer should test for brake pull or heat buildup during a drive to ensure the caliper is not seizing again. Given the recent failure of the windscreen washer in December 2024, verifying that all basic fluid and safety systems are fully functional is necessary before purchase.
