Peugeot 107 Urban (2012)
2012 Peugeot 107 Urban
CarHunch analysed 164 real MOT records for the 2012 Peugeot 107 Urban. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2012 Peugeot 107 Urban falls slightly short of the UK average with a 76.3% first-time pass rate against the national 80%, suggesting these cars need a bit more attention to stay roadworthy—though the complete absence of dangerous defects is reassuring for buyers. The median mileage of just over 56,000 miles is quite low for a 12-year-old car, indicating many examples have led easy lives and should theoretically have more life left in them.
Failures average 0.91 per vehicle with virtually no advisory notices, meaning when these cars do fail their MOT, it's usually something straightforward that needs fixing rather than an emerging problem. Before purchasing, have a pre-buy inspection focusing on suspension and exhaust components, as these typically account for the failures seen in this generation, and you'll have a much clearer picture of what you're taking on.
What to check before buying a 2012 Peugeot 107 Urban
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
