2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YB59 LCL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT in July 2024 at 70,906 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance following a period of recurring mechanical and structural advisories. While the car has struggled with specific components previously, the lack of failures in the latest test suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding issues and maintained the vehicle to a standard state for now. At 16 years old, the recorded 70,906 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 4,432 miles per year. This low usage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, yet the data shows significant gaps in mileage accumulation. For instance, between August 2021 and August 2022, the vehicle covered only 1,874 miles, suggesting it may have sat stationary for long periods. Such patterns of inactivity can lead to the age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluids rather than mechanical wear alone. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the structural integrity and braking system, given the history of significant corrosion. The 2022 failure highlighted a structural reduction in the sill near the offside rear seat belt anchorage alongside excessive corrosion on rear brake pipes. While these were reportedly repaired, rust in sills and pipes is prone to returning. The buyer should also check the Macpherson struts for corrosion, which were first flagged in 2017, and inspect the rear brake calipers for any signs of binding or perished seals. The exhaust system also warrants attention due to leaks recorded in both 2020 and 2023. The 2023 test noted a minor leak between the middle and back box along with pitted front inner brake discs. Given the low mileage and age of the car, the tyres and wiper blades should be checked for cracking and perishing, as the 2023 record already identified perished rear tyres. A physical inspection should confirm that the low-mileage- has not developed new faults due to age-related decay.
