2014 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · GJ64 ADO

The vehicle shows a stable but reactive maintenance pattern, with the most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 47,143 miles indicating a pass following a failure. The tester flagged an insufficient windscreen washer fluid level and a near-side rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. While the car passed, the presence of perishing rubber suggests the vehicle spends significant time stationary, which can lead to age-related degradation of consumables regardless of low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 3,929 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 27,333 miles in March 2020 to 47,143 miles in January 2026. This low usage pattern explains the lack of heavy mechanical wear but increases the likelihood of component issues related to inactivity, such as the tyre perishing noted in both the 2020 and 2026 tests. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components. The May 2023 test at 35,015 miles highlighted a parking brake that only just met efficiency standards and exhibited high lever travel, suggesting a need for adjustment or service to the rear drums or shoes. The record also noted worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front at that same interval. Although these were not immediate failures, they indicate the beginning of suspension component wear. The history of windscreen damage and headlamp aim issues in April 2022 suggests minor cosmetic and alignment maintenance is required periodically. Given the tendency for tyres to crack or perish due to low usage, a physical inspection of all sidewalls and tread depth is necessary. The uneven rear brake release noted in the April 2018 test at 12,809 miles also warrants a check to ensure the braking mechanism remains free and functional.
