2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · DF17 UDE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 30,388 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure due to anti-roll bar linkage issues and perished tyres. The trend shows a recurring pattern of failing on consumable items where components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. The mileage profile is significantly low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,376 miles per year. This low usage explains several mechanical issues observed in the record. Between February 2024 (24,320 miles) and February 2025 (28,182 miles), the car covered only 3,862 miles. Such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the consistent reports of cracking and perishing on the rear tyres noted in every single test from 2024 through 2026. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The February 2025 failure at 28,182 miles highlighted critically thin front brake pads and seriously weakened discs, alongside a poorly adjusted parking brake. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or signs of seized calipers. Furthermore, the March 2026 failure regarding the anti-roll bar linkages suggests that the rubber bushes in the front suspension are degrading due to age and dryness, which will likely require further replacement soon to prevent knocks or handling instability.
