2011 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · YX11 VFC

The Peugeot 107 in question presents a stable roadworthiness record over its most recent MOT cycles, with no defects logged in the two most current tests—one passed and one failed—both conducted in April 2025 at 92,172 and 92,174 miles. The absence of advisories or failures tied to mechanical or structural concerns suggests that core systems, including brakes, suspension, and exhaust emissions, have met DVSA thresholds without recurring issues. The back-to-back pass/fail at identical mileages in 2025 is unusual but not indicative of deterioration; it may reflect administrative or procedural factors rather than vehicle condition. Prior to that, the 2024 tests also showed no defects, reinforcing a pattern of consistent compliance with basic roadworthiness standards. There is no evidence of worsening trends, though the lack of advisories could mask deferred maintenance on non-critical components. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 6,145 miles per year over the past three MOT cycles. The recorded mileage—92,174 at the latest test—shows steady but unremarkable progression, with no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity between tests. The 1,034-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs (90,037 to 91,140 miles) suggests regular annual testing, and the minimal mileage increase between the 2025 tests (just 34 miles) implies the car may have been off the road or in storage briefly before retesting. This consistency rules out extreme wear from high mileage or neglect from low usage, though it does not preclude minor deferred maintenance on wear items. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still verify several high-wear components in person. Pay particular attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, dampers, and rubber bushes—since these are prone to silent degradation even if not flagged in MOTs. Check for binding or uneven brake pads, particularly at the rear, as the 2025 tests did not explicitly clear these systems beyond basic compliance. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, as rust can develop between tests without immediate safety implications. Finally, assess tyre condition beyond legal tread limits, as the MOT does not mandate tread depth checks above the minimum. While the record is reassuring, these areas are common failure points in this model and age group.
