2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YB60 FBF

The most recent MOT record, dated 23 April 2026 at 92,329 miles, shows a clean pass with zero defects recorded. That result is only two months old as of today, which is highly relevant. However, the same day also contains a failed test at 92,327 miles, where the tester flagged an inoperative power steering system, an electronic power steering warning lamp, an offside rear service brake excessively binding, an offside rear parking brake inoperative, rear brake imbalance, and a Lambda reading outside specified limits after the second fast idle. The fact that the car failed and passed on the same day suggests a retest following remedial work. The maintenance trend is therefore mixed. The 2024 test at 86,587 miles was clean, but 2025 and 2026 both show recurring braking and exhaust faults, indicating intermittent attention rather than a consistent pattern of thorough upkeep. The vehicle has covered 92,329 miles over roughly 15 years, averaging about 6,155 miles per year. That is a typical annual mileage for a small city car of this age. The recorded intervals show a jump of 4,029 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, followed by a further 1,713 miles between May 2025 and April 2026. There are no glaring gaps or implausible leaps in the odometer readings, and the mileage progression appears broadly consistent with regular, modest use rather than long periods of standing or sudden high-mileage accumulation. The recurring items a buyer should focus on are the braking system and the exhaust. The offside rear service brake has appeared as excessively binding in both the 2025 and 2026 failures, and rear brake imbalance across the axle has been flagged twice. That pattern points to a caliper or sliding mechanism issue that may not have been fully resolved, or that reappears due to corrosion in the rear brake hardware. The offside rear brake pipe was noted as corroded and contaminated in 2025, and the rear exhaust silencer had a major gas leak at the same test. Although the April 2026 retest passed, these are areas where deterioration can recur quickly on a 15-year-old small car, especially if it sees short trips or damp storage conditions. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the offside rear caliper, brake pipe, and handbrake mechanism for stiffness, corrosion, or uneven wear. The exhaust system, particularly the rear silencer and joints, deserves a cold start check for gas leaks and a visual check for fresh welding or replacement parts. The power steering fault recorded in April 2026, even if cleared for the retest, warrants a road test to confirm consistent assistance and no warning lamp activity. Tyre pressures were flagged once, but that is minor. The core concern is whether the rear braking and exhaust repairs were done properly or simply patched to pass a retest.
