2015 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · AF15 AAY

The 2015 Peugeot 108 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no recurring defects or advisories recorded across five tests. The most recent examination on 2025-05-28 confirmed no issues despite the vehicle’s age and mileage, though the immediate preceding test on 2025-05-27—conducted at the same mileage—failed without explanation, a rare anomaly that warrants further clarification. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 passed without fail, suggesting consistent compliance with basic MOT standards. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear; the testers’ consistent pass marks imply either diligent maintenance or deferred attention to components that do not trigger MOT failures. The vehicle’s mileage progression of roughly 7,286 miles annually aligns with typical usage for its age, though the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests—covering 6,834 miles in just over a year—indicates active use without prolonged neglect. The absence of intermediate MOTs or service records means there are no data points to confirm whether critical intervals, such as suspension servicing or brake fluid changes, were adhered to. The 2025 double-test at identical mileage is unusual; while both were passed, the failure on the 27th suggests either a procedural oversight or a temporary issue resolved before the 28th. Buyers should treat this as a red flag for potential inconsistency in testing or maintenance. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components that commonly fail without MOT triggers: rear suspension bushes, which often degrade silently; coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion; and brake calipers, particularly for binding or excessive wear. The front brake discs and pads, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven thickness or glazing, as the vehicle’s age and mileage increase the risk of thermal cracking. Structural integrity is another concern; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as the 108’s lightweight construction makes it susceptible to rust progression. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or sagging hangers, as catalytic converter failures are a known issue in this model range. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound—only that they did not fail the MOT test.
