2017 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · FG17 TXZ

The 2017 Peugeot 108 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past two years, passing its most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 47,542 miles with no defects recorded. While earlier tests reveal a pattern of minor, non-critical advisories—such as worn brake pads, tyres approaching legal limits, and suspension bushings—these have not escalated into failures. The absence of major structural or safety-related defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the recurring advisories indicate areas requiring proactive attention. The 2023 failure for excessive exhaust emissions remains an outlier, as later tests did not repeat this issue, which may imply either a resolved fault or a one-off anomaly. The recorded mileage of 47,542 miles over nine years—approximately 5,282 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 12-month intervals between MOTs, but the jump from 25,428 miles in September 2022 to 31,028 miles in August 2023—covering just over a year—implies no significant mileage accumulation during that period. This pattern could indicate the car was either stored or driven very lightly, which may have mitigated some wear but also means certain components like tyres and brakes may have degraded unevenly due to lack of regular use. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front suspension, particularly the anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes, which were flagged in 2023 as worn but not yet failing. The repeated advisories on front brake discs and pads—both pitted and wearing thin—warrant immediate assessment for uneven wear or scoring, which could indicate misalignment or inadequate braking fluid maintenance. Tyres, especially the front nearside and offside, have consistently approached legal limits, so tread depth and lateral wear patterns should be checked for signs of uneven wear or edge damage. The 2023 emission failure, though not repeated, should prompt verification that the catalytic converter or exhaust system remains intact and free of blockages. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and rust around wheel arches, should also be examined, as low mileage does not preclude deterioration from environmental exposure.
