Is the 107 getting worse?
The fail rate rose 4.7 points to 30.8% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 3 years, which is about what ageing alone predicts (5.3 points). Read it as the fleet getting older rather than the model changing.
| Year | Tests | Median age | Fail rate | All cars | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 121,804 | 12 | 26.1% | 22.5% | |
| 2023 | 118,762 | 13 | 27.8% | 22.8% | |
| 2024 | 98,717 | 14 | 30.1% | 23.2% | |
| 2025 | 99,498 | 15 | 30.8% | 22.6% |
Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical 107 at its test that year, and it is the number to watch: across the whole fleet each extra year of age adds roughly 1.9 points to the fail rate, so a model whose age and fail rate rise together is simply getting older.
The exact defects that fail it
Every failure item DVSA recorded against a 107 in 2025, counted by how many tests each one appeared on.
- 1Service brake performance: excessively binding4,602 tests
- 2Position lamp: not working3,806 tests
- 3Component mounting prescribed areas: prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength3,218 tests
- 4Headlamp aim: projected beam image is obviously incorrect3,031 tests
- 5Rigid brake pipes: excessively corroded2,934 tests
- 6Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm2,826 tests
- 7Exhaust system: has a major leak of exhaust gases2,721 tests
- 8Catalyst emissions: Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits2,698 tests
What wears out first
Advisories are the tester flagging wear that is still legal. A typical 107 collects 3.33 of them per test, and these are the ones that come up most. Treat it as the running-repairs list for the next year or two.
- 1Rigid brake pipes: excessively corroded19,209 tests
- 2Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm16,010 tests
- 3Condition: has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure13,825 tests

Questions
What is the Peugeot 107 MOT pass rate?
69.2% of the 99,505 Peugeot 107 first-attempt MOTs in 2025 passed. The fail rate of 30.8% compares with 22.6% across all cars. A further 8.1% passed after a defect was fixed during the test visit.
What does a Peugeot 107 usually fail on?
The single most common failure is "Service brake performance: excessively binding", recorded on 4,602 failed tests, followed by "Position lamp: not working" and "Component mounting prescribed areas: prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength". By section, lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment appears in 44.4% of failures, brakes appears in 39.3% of failures, suspension appears in 34% of failures.
Does age change the odds?
Sharply. At 3 to 5 years old the fail rate was n/a%; at 14+ years it was 34.9%. The median Peugeot 107 tested in 2025 was 15 years old with 73,086 miles.
Is the Peugeot 107 getting less reliable?
The fail rate rose 4.7 points to 30.8% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 3 years, which is about what ageing alone predicts (5.3 points). Read it as the fleet getting older rather than the model changing.
