2009 Peugeot 107 Urban 1.0L Petrol · YEZ 2014

A consistent record of clean passes characterizes this vehicle's recent history, despite a single failure occurring just one week prior to its most recent successful test on 26 September 2026. The absence of recorded advisories or defects across the seven documented tests since 2019 indicates a pattern of passing inspections without flagged issues regarding structural integrity, emissions, or braking systems. While the failure in September 2026 suggests a component required rectification to meet minimum standards, the subsequent pass without any accompanying advisories shows that the vehicle currently meets the required roadworthiness criteria according to the DVSA. The vehicle has covered 107,871 miles over its 17-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,345 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical low-to-mid-range annual mileage for a city car of this age. Mechanically, this level of usage suggests that while the engine and drivetrain have not been subjected to extreme high-mileage stress, the vehicle has likely experienced regular short-distance trips. Such usage patterns often mean components like the exhaust system, clutch, and braking system are subject to frequent thermal cycling, though the lack of recorded defects suggests these have not reached a point of failure during the inspection periods. Because the MOT history shows no specific advisories for components such as suspension bushes, brake pipes, or subframe corrosion, there are no documented mechanical weaknesses to target. However, given the age and the recorded mileage, a physical inspection should focus on checking for any signs of oil misting around the engine seals or any uneven tyre wear that might indicate geometry issues. On a test drive, pay close attention to the steering for any pulling or vibration and listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages when traversing uneven surfaces, as these are common wear items on vehicles of this age and mileage that may not always trigger an immediate MOT advisory. The integrity of the braking system should be verified by feeling for any pedal judder or sponginess, which could indicate worn discs or air in the system, even if not previously flagged. Additionally, ensure the vehicle maintains a steady idle and does not exhibit any significant hesitation during acceleration, as the emissions-related components must be functioning correctly to maintain the clean pass record seen in the recent years. Since no specific defects were listed in the 2026 failure, it is worth confirming with the seller what specific component was replaced to rectify the failure prior to the successful retest.
