2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · GJ65 ABF

The most recent MOT test passed on 1 November 2025, but the overall maintenance trend indicates a shift towards more significant wear-and-tear components. While the vehicle has successfully passed its inspections, the progression from minor bulb and wiper failures to advisories concerning brake disc condition and wheel distortion suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where more substantial mechanical investment may be required. The recurring mention of brake inspections and tyre wear over the last three years indicates that consumables are reaching the end of their service life and require proactive replacement. With 71,049 miles recorded over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,105 miles per annum. This represents typical, moderate usage for a small city car and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage stress. However, this level of usage is high enough to warrant scrutiny of suspension components and drivetrain wear, yet low enough that the vehicle may have experienced periods of standing, which can lead to issues such as brake binding or fluid degradation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and wheel integrity. The advisory regarding pitted or scored front brake discs, coupled with previous recommendations for brake inspection, necessitates a thorough test drive. Listen for any metallic grinding or squealing during deceleration and feel for any pulsation through the brake pedal, which could indicate warped discs. Furthermore, the recorded distortion of the nearside front inner road wheel is a concern; inspect the rim closely for any signs of impact damage and check for any steering wheel oscillations or pulling to one side, as this could indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues. The history of uneven tyre wear on the inner edges suggests that the vehicle's tracking or suspension geometry may be out of specification. During a physical inspection, examine the current tread on all tyres for irregular wear patterns, particularly on the inner edges. Additionally, ensure that the stop lamps and windscreen wipers are in perfect working order to avoid immediate minor failures. Given the vehicle's age, it is also advisable to check the condition of the 12V battery, inspect rubber suspension bushes for cracking, and verify that the service history confirms regular oil and coolant changes to mitigate the effects of time-based degradation.
