2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · BN66 WRL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 22, 2026, but the mechanical history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The test conducted just one day prior at 79,836 miles failed due to an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and split anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While these faults were rectified to achieve passing, the recurring nature of suspension-related issues across multiple years suggests components are only replaced once they reach a point of failure rather than during intervals. At 79,844 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a small city car. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, with roughly 11,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 11,100 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regular use generally prevents excessive corrosion from standing but explains the standard wear on rubber and friction components. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension geometry specifically, as the record shows persistent issues with anti-roll bar links and ball joints dating back to 2023. The 2026 failure also highlighted an offside front tyre worn unevenly on the inner edge, which indicates an alignment issue or worn component that needs addressing to prevent premature tyre replacement. Additionally, the brake history shows a pattern of thinning pads and pitted discs between 2023 and 2024, suggesting the front braking system is nearing the end of its service life and requires a close inspection for thickness and surface condition.
