2008 Peugeot 107 (aka Toyota Aygo/Citreon C1). Around 70.5k miles.

I need to replace the wheel trims because they're peeling a bit but otherwise seems to be in decent condition. I bought a vaccuum, tread depth gauge, some gloves, leather cleaner, cloths, and antifreeze tester.

Anyone have any tips on how best to maintain it/take care of it?

Cheers :)

Get an OBD2 adapter. If you're on Android, a cheap ELM327-clone with Bluetooth will do. If you're on iOS, you'll need one with WiFi. There are apps (Android: Torque Pro, iOS: OBD Fusion) to read out any error codes and they can also give you the values from all the different sensors. Helps a lot with troubleshooting.
