2007 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YR57 AFK

The Peugeot’s last MOT expired in December 2023, leaving it untested for nearly three years. The maintenance trend shows a clear deterioration at the final test in December 2022 at 48,208 miles, where the tester recorded worn, pitted and scored front brake discs on both sides alongside fluctuating service brake effort and an insecure battery mounting. This contrasts with the clean passes seen throughout the late 2010s and marks a shift from minor consumable items to active braking system wear that requires immediate verification. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low, averaging roughly 2,500 miles per year over nineteen years. The vehicle covered only 864 miles between the February 2019 test at 45,634 miles and the August 2020 test at 47,344 miles, then a mere 864 miles again over the 28-month gap to the final test in December 2022. Such long intervals between tests and minimal annual distance suggest extended periods of storage, a pattern that often accelerates brake disc corrosion and seizure risk despite the low odometer reading. The 2019 test flagged worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both front corners, an advisory that disappeared from the 2020 and 2022 records without a recorded repair; this component should be checked closely for play or noise. The front braking system is the primary concern: the recorded disc pitting and brake force fluctuation point towards corrosion-induced surface degradation or potential caliper binding caused by inactivity. A buyer must inspect the disc faces for deep scoring or lip formation, verify caliper slider movement, and confirm the battery is now securely clamped. Tyre age and condition are also critical given the likelihood of prolonged static loading.
