2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · DX16 LFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in March 2026 at 57,157 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance history shows a worsening trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test suggests a clean state, the preceding three years reveal a recurring pattern of failures related to suspension components, braking systems, and lighting. The history of multiple failures indicates that faults are often only addressed once they reach a critical threshold during the annual inspection. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. This pattern is evident in the progression from 9,456 miles in 2019 to 57,157 miles by early 2026. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it often correlates with accelerated environmental degradation. The presence of structural corrosion and corroded brake pipes noted in 2025 is a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods, allowing moisture to lead to surface oxidation over time. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2025 test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, following previous issues with the anti-roll bar itself in 2023. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn or pitted consistently since 2022, suggesting the components are nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, the structural corrosion reported in 2025 requires close monitoring; although the tester found structural rigidity was not yet compromised, the presence of corroded brake pipes indicates an underbody environment that could lead to future leaks if not treated.
