2018 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · DS68 WYW

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑13 at 68,690 miles, but the near side front outer drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boot was severely deteriorated (6.1.7 (g) (i)). The test shows no other major defects, indicating the car remains road‑worthy, yet the recurring boot failure signals accelerating wear on suspension components. Mileage has risen from 46,906 miles on 28 August 2021 to 68,690 miles by 13 November 2025, an average of roughly 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with the car’s eight‑year age. Gaps between tests are modest; the longest interval, from 23 November 2023 to 14 November 2024, added only about 4,100 miles, while earlier jumps from 57,349 miles in May 2022 to 60,506 miles in November 2023 covered just over 3,000 miles in six months. The data therefore reflects steady use rather than sporadic high‑mileage bursts. A buyer should examine the drive‑shaft boots and joints for cracking or missing material, inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and check all four tyres for perishing, edge wear and tread depth near the legal limit. Also verify that suspension bushes and coil springs show no excessive play, and look for any corrosion on structural members or the exhaust system. The history of two separate failures on the constant‑velocity boots and the multiple tyre perishing incidents suggest that previous owners may have deferred routine suspension and tyre maintenance. A thorough physical inspection focusing on these areas will reveal whether the wear is isolated or part of a broader pattern of neglect.
