2018 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · AF68 LHL

The Peugeot 108 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 18,680 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with every pass since 2022 showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A single failure on 28 August 2025 at 18,678 miles is anomalous; the DVSA entry lists no defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed cleanly the next day. The mileage pattern confirms very light use for an eight-year-old car. From the 9 September 2022 test at 13,756 miles, the odometer climbed to 16,674 miles by 9 September 2023, then 17,667 miles on 27 August 2024, and 18,680 miles on 29 August 2025. That equates to roughly 1,000 to 1,900 miles per year, well below typical averages. Such low accumulation over long intervals suggests the car spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop flat spots, and underbody corrosion to begin unseen. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across five years, the MOT history offers no evidence of recurring suspension, braking, or structural concerns. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing up to date, though the 2025 failure with no defects suggests one test centre error rather than neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on brake disc condition, suspension bushes, and hidden corrosion, since standing vehicles often hide such faults until stripped. Prior to purchase, verify the 28 August 2025 failure reason with the testing station and confirm the car has not been idle long enough to warrant fluid changes. The low mileage is reassuring for consumable wear but demands scrutiny of components that degrade with disuse rather than distance.
