2018 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · YH67 AAX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 May 2026, with only a minor advisory regarding a defective front windscreen wiper blade. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, although the history reveals a significant failure in May 2024 due to dangerously worn front brake pads. While this was corrected immediately to achieve a pass the following day, such a failure suggests a period of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. However, the subsequent clean pass in 2025 indicates a return to a more consistent upkeep schedule. With a recorded mileage of 44,270 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,534 miles per year. This is considerably lower than the UK national average, suggesting the car has been used primarily for short urban trips or has spent extended periods stationary. While this results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and interior, low-usage vehicles are often susceptible to different degradation patterns, specifically regarding rubber components and fluid chemistry, which can deteriorate over time regardless of mileage. Given the previous dangerous failure for brake pad thickness, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system. During a test drive, listen for any grinding sounds or feel for shuddering through the brake pedal, which could indicate scored or warped brake discs. It is also advisable to inspect the calipers for any signs of binding, a common issue in low-mileage city cars where components can seize due to inactivity. Ensure the current brake pads have sufficient remaining life to avoid another premature replacement. Due to the low annual mileage, physical inspection should focus on age-related perishing. Examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or hardening, as tyres can become unsafe due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. Check the health of the 12V battery and verify that the engine oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than just mileage. Finally, inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and check the service book for evidence of regular calendar-based maintenance to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from the effects of prolonged standing.
