2018 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · FC18 FCC

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its underbody and suspension components. While it technically passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 50,973 miles, the record shows a significant increase in advisories compared to previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a long list of structural and mechanical concerns in the last two tests indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage where deferred maintenance is manifesting at an accelerating rate. At 50,973 miles over eight years, the car follows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,300 miles per year. This low mileage is typical for an urban city runer, yet the data between the August 2023 test at 43,299 miles and the August 2024 test at 47,253 miles shows a period of relatively low activity. This low mileage has not prevented the progression of environmental degradation, evidenced by the perishing of rubber components and the onset of corrosion on metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame and the Macpherson struts, as corrosion has been flagged consistently across the 2024 and 2025 records. The tester noted the sub-frame is starting to corrode, which is a critical structural area to monitor for thinning. Additionally, the front anti-roll bar linkages and lower suspension arm bushes show recurring signs of wear, suggesting the front suspension geometry is nearing a comprehensive overhaul to maintain handling stability. The braking system also requires attention due to the repeated reports of pitted and scored front brake discs, along with corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrule. The presence of distorted road wheels and perishing tyres in the 2025 report suggests that basic consumable upkeep has been neglected. Given the history of these faults, the buyer should verify that the central stop lamp was actually repaired and that the structural corrosion has been treated rather than merely ignored to pass the test.
