Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban reliable?

Based on MOT data from 577 vehicles, the 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban has a first-time MOT pass rate of 77.4%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 61%, well below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these cars are likely to need repairs before passing their test. The fuel breakdown data appears corrupted (petrol showing 0.7% pass rate is implausible), so treat the fuel-type comparison with caution, but the overall verdict is clear: this model has aged poorly and buyers should expect significant maintenance bills.

At nearly 91,500 miles median, these vehicles have done typical mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 1.3 failures per test, indicating wear-related problems are the norm rather than exception. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, exhaust, and braking components—the most common failure areas for aging city cars—and factor in repair costs as part of your budget.

The 2006 Peugeot 107 Urban passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (77.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
