2018 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · MJ18 ABK

The 2018 Peugeot 108 shows a consistently stable roadworthiness profile, with all recent MOT tests—including the most recent on 2025-09-08 at 34,765 miles—passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of recurring faults or advisory notes across five tests (2022–2025) suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not exemplary, maintenance. No evidence of repeated mechanical failures or structural concerns is present, though the lack of advisories could also imply minor issues were overlooked or not severe enough to warrant official comment. The most recent test, just under a year ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT interval, indicating compliance with legal requirements. The recorded mileage of 34,765 miles over eight years—approximately 4,346 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, which typically accumulates 8,000–12,000 miles per year. This suggests either very light usage, prolonged periods of inactivity, or potential odometer tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2023 tests, where the vehicle went from 23,161 to 25,675 miles in just over a year—a modest increase of 2,514 miles. The double MOT entry in September 2023 (one pass, one fail) is unusual but may reflect administrative error rather than mechanical failure, as no defects were logged. Overall, the sparse mileage accumulation raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions or usage history, which could impact wear on components like suspension bushes, seals, and battery health. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit dry rot or excessive play despite passing visual checks. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on disc surfaces—especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyres, though not mentioned in failures, should be checked for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, as the low mileage could mask deeper issues like misalignment or worn suspension components. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation in vulnerable areas. Finally, the battery and electrical systems, often neglected in low-mileage vehicles, should be tested for capacity and corrosion at terminals, as age-related degradation can occur even without frequent use.
