2009 Peugeot 107

CarHunch analysed 15,458 real MOT records for the 2009 Peugeot 107. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2009 Peugeot 107 falls slightly below the UK average with a 77.4% first-time pass rate, and that's before considering the worrying 45.5% of vehicles that have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—nearly half the fleet. This suggests buyers should budget for potential safety-critical repairs and factor in thorough pre-purchase inspections.

These cars are running around 51,900 miles at median, which is relatively low for their age and indicates many have been lightly used. However, the average of 4.07 failures per test combined with 23.9 advisories per vehicle points to accumulating wear; focus your inspection on suspension, lighting, and exhaust systems, which typically drive failures in this age bracket.

What to check before buying a 2009 Peugeot 107

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.
  • ⚠️ 45.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
