2005 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YR55 YVJ

The vehicle is currently in a marginal roadworthiness state with a worsening maintenance trend. While it passed its most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 104,589 miles, the tester flagged several significant advisories that suggest neglect. The presence of corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease is a particular concern, as this often indicates an attempt to mask structural oxidation rather than resolving the underlying corrosion. The mileage is low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,980 miles per year. Use has been consistent but light, with a steady climb from 58,432 miles in November 2016 to the current 104,589 miles. There are no suspicious mileage drops or unexplained gaps in the testing cycle, though the low annual usage may contribute to the perishing tyres noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and chassis. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes, first noted in December 2019 and reappearing in December 2025, suggests a chronic issue with rust that has not been permanently rectified. The December 2024 failure for worn front suspension arm bushes further indicates that the front end is beginning to fatigue. Attention should also be paid to the lighting system and fluid leaks. The car has a history of failing on headlamp aim and bulb failures dating back to 2018, and an oil leak was flagged consistently between 2022 and 2023. Given that all four tyres were flagged as worn or perishing in the December 2025 test, a full set of replacements is likely required immediately.
