The Peugeot 107 is the result of the B-Zero project (TPCA), developed jointly by PSA and Toyota. Produced in the Czech Republic alongside its siblings (Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo), it is positioned as an economical and pragmatic A-segment mini-city car. The 2009-2014 period covers Phase 2 (2009-2012), which brought a redesigned front bumper and improved sound insulation, as well as Phase 3 (2012-2014), recognizable by its LED daytime running lights. Its major asset lies in its Japanese-origin mechanical architecture, giving it formidable reliability. It is ideal for new drivers or as a second urban vehicle.
The Peugeot 107 (Phases 2 and 3) is a highly recommendable purchase for strictly urban or peri-urban use. By opting for models produced between 2009 and 2014, you avoid the early issues of Phase 1 (notably the undersized clutch). Its chain-driven Toyota engine is a model of robustness. Absolute buying condition: prioritize the manual gearbox and avoid the 2-Tronic automated manual gearbox. Accept its spartan comfort and symbolic boot, and it will reward you with unbeatable running costs. However, be sure to check the boot's watertightness before purchase.
