2012 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YR62 LFT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding corrosion-related component failure. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 87,966 miles passed, it revealed multiple defects including corroded rear brake pipes and rear coil springs. This represents a step backward from the clean 2024 and 2023 records, suggesting that underbody components are beginning to succumb to environmental degradation despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with a low-use city car, aververaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, with a 9,800-mile gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests and another 7,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle was not subjected to extreme mechanical stress, though the long intervals of standing or low-speed driving often contribute to the surface rust issues noted in the later MOT advisories. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The recurring mention of corroded coil springs in both 2022 and 2025 indicates that the structural integrity of the rear assembly is declining. Furthermore, the grease-covered corroded brake pipes identified in the 2025 test require close scrutiny, as the coating may be masking the true extent of the metal thinning. The prospective owner should also check the exhaust system for further leaks, ensuring the minor issues noted in 2022 have not developed into a significant failure.
