2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · DL17 AEA

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its suspension and braking components. While the most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 19,824 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a recurring pattern of degradation. The offside front Macpherson strut has been flagged for corrosion in three consecutive tests, specifically in September 2023, September 2024, and most recently in September 2025. This indicates a persistent issue with surface corrosion that has not been addressed. The mileage profile suggests very light usage, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year over the nine-year lifespan of the car. The recorded distance has increased steadily from 10,140 miles in September 2020 to 19,824 miles in September 2025. This low annual mileage often correlates with the age-related deterioration seen in the MOT history, particularly the perishing of rubber components and the pitting of brake discs, which can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The repeated advisories for worn anti-roll bar linkages, cracking suspension arm bushes, and a corroded Macpherson strut suggest that the rubber components are reaching the end of their serviceable life due to age rather than heavy use. The tester also noted cracking in both front bushes during the 2025 test, following similar warnings in 2024. The braking system also requires attention. The front brake discs have been noted as worn, pitted, or scored in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. Although no specific brake defects appeared in the 2025 record, the history of surface deterioration on the discs is a clear indicator of the effects of low usage. Checking the condition of the tyres is also necessary, as the 2024 test highlighted damage and perishing across all four tyres.
