2015 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · HY15 AEJ

This Peugeot 108 presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 49,308 miles showing no defects, advisories, or warnings. The pattern holds consistently across all five recorded tests—each spanning roughly a year apart—with every inspection since 2021 passing without any recorded issues. This suggests the vehicle has been well maintained within the MOT framework, with no signs of recurring mechanical or structural failures. The absence of advisories on critical components like brakes, suspension, or emissions indicates no deferred repairs or ongoing deterioration. However, the lack of recorded mileage between tests (e.g., the 2024–2025 gap covering 6,025 miles ) raises the possibility of infrequent or short trips, which could mask wear that might not yet be visible in an MOT but could emerge in components like tyres, brake fluid, or suspension bushes over time. The car’s mileage of 49,308 miles over 11 years —averaging just 4,483 miles per year —is unusually low for its age, particularly given its compact, urban-friendly nature. Such low annual mileage often points to either light personal use or prolonged periods of disuse, which can accelerate certain forms of wear. For instance, rubber components like seals, hoses, and suspension bushes may have degraded due to prolonged exposure to moisture or UV light rather than mechanical stress. The steady mileage increments also suggest no sudden changes in usage patterns, such as a rapid accumulation that might indicate neglect or aggressive driving. Without advisories or defects in the MOT records, there’s no evidence of forced or emergency repairs, but the buyer should verify whether the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as this can lead to hidden issues like seized bearings or degraded fluids. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of consumable and wear-prone components that may not yet be flagged but could fail soon. Check the condition of all four tyres , including sidewall cracks, uneven wear, or low tread depth—low-mileage vehicles can still develop tyre issues if they’ve been stored or driven on worn rubber. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers, glazed discs, or uneven pad wear, even though no MOT faults were recorded. The suspension —particularly the bushes, coil springs, and ball joints—should be tested for stiffness or excessive play, as these can degrade over time even with minimal mileage. Finally, examine the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, especially if the car has been exposed to salt, moisture, or poor storage conditions, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. While the MOT record is reassuring, these areas are where low-mileage vehicles often hide deferred maintenance risks.
