In 2025, 107,102 Peugeot 107 cars had a regular MOT in Great Britain. 61% passed first time, compared with 61% for all cars of the same ages, which makes the 107 about average. Adjusted for age, it ranks 137 of the 217 most-tested car models.
That comparison matters: older cars fail more often, so a raw pass rate flatters models that are mostly young. We compare each model against every car on the road at the same age.
Pass rate by age
At 11 years old, 73% of 107s passed first time (all cars that age: 69%). By 20 years, that figure is 53% (all cars: 58%). It starts out ahead of the average car but falls behind from around 17 years, which is worth knowing if you are buying an older one.

What to check when buying a used 107
Based on where the 107 fails more often than other cars, these are the checks worth making before you buy:
- Seat belts and airbags: Pull every belt out fully and let it retract, check the buckles latch, and make sure the airbag light goes out after starting. More
- Emissions and leaks: Look for oil and coolant leaks underneath, listen for exhaust blows on a cold start, and watch for smoke when revving. Repair guide
- Brakes: Look through the wheels for lipped or scored discs, check the handbrake holds on a slope, and feel for pulling or vibration under firm braking. Repair guide
Then check the individual car: its own MOT history will show whether it follows the pattern. A car with repeated advisories in the same weak area is more likely to fail its next test.
