2018 PEUGEOT 1081.0L Petrol

This Peugeot 108 presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 10,779 miles showing no defects—consistent with the four preceding annual passes since 2021. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no signs of recurring issues in critical areas such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. Such a record is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, suggesting either meticulous upkeep by previous owners or, more likely, minimal usage. The DVSA’s lack of even minor advisories (e.g., tyre wear, fluid levels) further reinforces that the car has been well maintained within the test parameters. The mileage data reveals a striking pattern of very low annual accumulation—just 1,347 miles per year over eight years—placing it among the least driven examples of this model. Between 2021 (7,215 miles) and 2022 (8,876 miles) , the annual increase was modest, and the gap between 2022 (8,876 miles) and 2023 (9,840 miles) suggests periods of near-inactivity. This could imply the vehicle was either stored for extended periods or used infrequently, potentially reducing wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. However, low mileage alone does not guarantee mechanical health, so a buyer should verify whether the car has been subjected to regular servicing beyond MOT compliance—particularly if it has sat unused for long stretches. Given the flawless MOT record, a prospective buyer should still prioritise a thorough inspection of components prone to hidden wear or corrosion, even with minimal mileage. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs , as these can degrade over time regardless of usage, especially if the car has been left stationary in damp conditions. Check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear , which could indicate past neglect despite clean MOTs. The exhaust system should be examined for rust or leaks, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in exposed environments. While the MOT history offers reassurance, the car’s age and the unusual mileage pattern warrant a pre-purchase inspection to confirm no underlying issues have developed outside the scope of annual testing.
