2018 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · DU68 FDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 9,437 miles passed, yet it revealed new issues including worn front anti-roll bar links and corrosion on the front discs. While the car passed its 2025 test, the recurring failures regarding rubber-based components suggest that parts are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,180 miles per year. This low usage explains the general state of the mechanical components but directly correlates with the degradation seen in the record. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the car covered only 967 miles, yet it failed the MOT due to tyre perishing, a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. A buyer must inspect the tyres closely, as the record shows a persistent history of cracking and perishing since 2024, indicating the current set may be nearing its structural integrity or requiring immediate replacement. The 2025 failure for exposed cords on the offside front and rear tyres highlights that the rubber is drying out despite low tread depth. Additionally, the light misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in the previous year should be checked to ensure the seal has not deteriorated into a significant leak. The suspension system requires attention due to previous reports of worn lower suspension arm bushes in 2024 and worn anti-roll bar links identified in 2026. Given the noted corrosion on the front brake discs in the latest test, the buyer should verify the condition of the rotors and pads, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust and uneven pitting on the braking surfaces.
