2017 PEUGEOT 1081.0L Petrol

The 2017 Peugeot 108 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across all four tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent cycle ending on 2025-05-21 at 13,385 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been subjected to either diligent servicing or has inherently low-risk failure points for its class. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies no obvious mechanical trends—neither worsening nor improving—though the lack of faults does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test, just over a year ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT interval, indicating compliance with legal requirements without undue delay. The recorded mileage of 13,385 miles over nine years—approximately 1,487 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Peugeot 108’s typical usage patterns. The gap between tests shows a steady accumulation of roughly 1,600 miles per year, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. For instance, between the 2022 and 2023 tests, the vehicle covered 2,211 miles in just over a year, and similarly consistent intervals followed. While low mileage generally reduces wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored improperly, leading to potential corrosion or fluid degradation over time. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise areas prone to neglect in low-mileage vehicles, such as fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and signs of prolonged storage—corrosion on underbody components, seized wheel bearings, or degraded suspension bushes. The absence of advisories does not rule out wear in high-stress areas like coil springs or rear axle alignment, particularly if the vehicle has experienced uneven loading or off-road use. Tyres, despite no recorded faults, should be examined for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment issues or suboptimal handling. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter warrant scrutiny, as emissions-related failures are common in vehicles with irregular usage.
