2015 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · EW08 OEW

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend of worsening mechanical issues. While the most recent test on 24 June 2026 at 80,240 miles resulted in a pass, the car failed just eleven days prior at 80,151 miles due to a binding nearside rear service brake. This failure follows a pattern of brake-related issues, including a binding nearside rear brake noted in the August 2023 test at 62,033 miles. The vehicle also shows a persistent oil leak from the nearside drive shaft seal, which was flagged in both the June 2026 failure and the subsequent pass, as well as in the June 2025 test at 74,461 miles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage from 26,338 miles in January 2018 through to 80,240 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that suggest long periods of inactivity, though the jump from 45,143 miles in August 2020 to 53,874 miles in August 2021 indicates regular annual use. This consistent mileage suggests the wear on consumables is expected for the age of the Peugeot. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and the drivetrain. The recurring advisories and failures regarding binding rear brakes and pitted front brake discs suggest that the braking components may require a full overhaul rather than just minor adjustments. The persistent nearside oil leak from the transmission box and driveshaft seal needs professional verification to ensure it does not lead to fluid loss or gearbox damage. The history also indicates a tendency for the previous owner to delay tyre replacements, evidenced by the January 2020 failure where multiple tyres were below the legal limit. While the 2024 test showed no defects, the recent mechanical failures regarding the driveshaft and brakes suggest that the vehicle's maintenance has become more reactive than preventative in recent years. Checking the condition of the exhaust rubber brackets and the overall integrity of the suspension bushes would be prudent given the previous advisories.
