2017 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · DA17 FVM

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the vehicle's testing history, which shows a series of passes without major defects since its inception. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following two consecutive years of clean results in 2024 and 2023. While the record is largely devoid of failures, a single advisory regarding a defective front exhaust mounting rubber support block was noted in August 2022, though this did not escalate into a failure in subsequent inspections. The vehicle's usage profile is characterised by exceptionally low annual mileage, averaging approximately 1,329 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. With a total recorded mileage of 11,963, the car has been driven significantly less than the UK average. While this low usage reduces wear on high-motion components like the engine and gearbox, such infrequent operation can sometimes lead to the stagnation of fluids or the degradation of rubber components that are not regularly exercised. The record also shows a brief period of inactivity in early 2020, which was addressed via a COVID-19 six-month extension. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the exhaust system and its mounting points, given the advisory recorded in 2022. Although the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no further issues with this component, it is prudent to inspect the exhaust hangers and rubber mounts for signs of perishing or cracking. During a test drive, listen for any unusual vibrations, rattling, or heavy droning sounds coming from underneath the car, particularly when accelerating or idling, as these can indicate that an exhaust component is loose or that a mounting has failed. Because the vehicle has been driven so little, a thorough inspection of all rubber-based components is advisable to ensure they have not become brittle from age and lack of thermal cycling. This includes checking suspension bushes and various seals for signs of cracking. On the road, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages or bushings that may have been affected by the car's long periods of stationary use.
