2018 PEUGEOT 1081.0L Petrol

The 2018 Peugeot 108 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-12-23 confirming no defects at 37,543 miles. The vehicle has passed every annual test since 2022, including a rare double entry in December 2024 where it was initially failed before passing—though no defects were recorded in either instance. This suggests the tester did not identify any major mechanical or structural issues during inspections, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test was conducted just seven months ago , placing it well within the optimal window for assessing current condition, though an independent inspection remains essential to verify components like suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade incrementally. The recorded mileage of 37,543 miles over eight years—approximately 4,693 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests varies, with a notable 12-month interval between the 2022 and 2023 tests (from 19,453 to 27,190 miles) and another 12-month period between 2023 and 2024 (27,190 to 32,653 miles). The double entry in December 2024 at the same mileage suggests either a retest or administrative duplication, but no defects were flagged in either case. While low mileage typically reduces wear on critical systems like brakes and suspension, it can also mean deferred maintenance—particularly if the vehicle was stored without regular checks. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not rule out corrosion in wheel arches or underbody components, which can develop even with minimal movement. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points not always captured in a basic MOT. The brakes—while never failed—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyres, though not explicitly mentioned in the record, should be examined for uneven tread or signs of long-term storage damage. Structural corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel housings, and underbody, warrants scrutiny, as low mileage does not guarantee protection against environmental degradation. The lack of advisories in recent tests does not absolve the need for a thorough visual and functional assessment.
