2013 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YP63 XST

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but shows a clear and worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 49,022 miles, this followed a significant failure on the same day due to multiple safety defects. The transition from a clean record in 2022 and 2023 to a cascade of failures in 2025 indicates that the vehicle is now suffering from age-related degradation that exceeds its low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the car covered only 3,924 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary use. However, this low usage appears to correlate with the current state of the vehicle. The 2025 test revealed a 16-year-old nearside tyre, proving that while the car has not driven much, the components have reached the end of their life due to time rather than lack of tread wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the underbody and suspension components. The record consistently flags corrosion on the Macpherson struts, suspension arms, and the rear integral body structure. While the tester noted structural rigidity is not yet significantly reduced, the presence of rust on the inner sills, jacking points, and axle mounting areas suggests the process is accelerating. The 2024 report of binding wheels also indicates that the calipers or bearings are seizing due to long periods of inactivity. The braking system requires immediate attention. The October 2025 failure was caused by thin front pads, pitted discs, and a critical fault where the brake pad material had separated from the backing plate. The noted corrosion on all brake hose ferrules further suggests a risk of hydraulic failure in the future. Any prospective buyer should verify that the repairs following the October 2025 failure were completed to a professional standard and that the structural rust has not progressed into through perforation.
