2008 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YT58 LCC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance record shows a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and component degradation. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 5,186 miles, the tester flagged corroded brake pipes and continued corrosion on the offside rear suspension mounting area. These issues were previously noted during the 2025 test at 3,605 miles, indicating that while the car is passing, the underlying oxidation is progressing over time. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 288 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the gaps between tests, such as the 1,581 miles covered between May 2025 and 2026. However, the lack of use often correlates with the mechanical issues seen in the record. The 2025 advisory for perishing and cracking rear tyres is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits for long periods, leading to rubber degradation rather than mechanical tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the sills and subframe, as the tester has consistently flagged corrosion in prescribed mounting areas since 2022. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes covered in grease requires close attention to ensure the grease is not masking significant thinning. Additionally, the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and axle swivel bushes which showed wear in 2022, should be checked for age-related brittleness despite the low mileage.
