Peugeot 107
2012–2012
The Peugeot 107 (2012-2012) has a concerning corrosion failure rate, making it a risky choice.
The Peugeot 107 (2012-2012) has an overall MOT failure rate of 19.9%, based on 3,678 real MOT tests from DVSA data. Among the top defect categories, corrosion accounts for 8.16% of failures, indicating that this model is particularly vulnerable to rust and deterioration over time.
When examining failure rates by mileage, the data reveals a troubling trend. Vehicles with mileage between 0-40k have a relatively low failure rate of 12.6%, but this figure rises significantly as mileage increases. For cars with 120k+ miles, the failure rate skyrockets to 39.7%. This suggests that as the Peugeot 107 ages, the likelihood of corrosion-related issues becomes more pronounced, especially in higher mileage vehicles.
Additionally, the failure rates for the 40-80k and 80-120k mileage brackets are also concerning, at 22.9% and 31.6% respectively. This reinforces the notion that the Peugeot 107 is susceptible to corrosion as it accumulates mileage, making it a less reliable choice for potential buyers.
Given these statistics, prospective buyers should be cautious when considering the Peugeot 107 from this model year, particularly if the vehicle has higher mileage. The risk of corrosion-related failures could lead to costly repairs and a diminished lifespan of the vehicle.
