2014 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · FG64 FSV

A 2014 Peugeot 108 carrying 69,581 miles presents an unusually clean MOT profile, with four consecutive pass certificates at the December 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests and no advisories or defects recorded against the vehicle across the entire history supplied. The single failure listed at the December 2022 test entry carries no recorded defect text, indicating that whatever prompted it was rectified and the car returned to the same lane the same day to pass. The absence of any chronic advisories for suspension components, brake pipes, exhaust integrity, or corrosion is notable for a city-car platform of this age, where structural advisories can otherwise accumulate quickly in vehicles used on salted winter roads. Taken as a whole, the MOT record describes a vehicle that has remained compliant at every statutory test, with no flagged deterioration trend to act upon. Annual mileage of roughly 5,798 miles across twelve years is well below the typical accumulation for a small urban Peugeot 108, which is often used as a high-mileage commuter or city runabout. This lower-than-average usage could reflect light private use, seasonal running, or extended periods of standing between tests, and the regularity of the December test entries suggests the car has remained on the road consistently rather than being laid up for years at a time. Mechanically, low mileage of this nature tends to preserve wear items such as brake discs, clutch friction material, and exhaust internals, but it can also bring risks from prolonged standing including perishing of suspension bushes, brake caliper seizure due to corrosion on the guide pins, and tyre sidewall cracking from cold inflation in storage. The mileage progression across the recorded tests appears steady rather than spiking, which supports a picture of consistent light use rather than a sudden change in duty cycle. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there is no specific component flagged for follow-up inspection, but the low-mileage profile warrants particular attention to items that degrade through standing rather than use. On a test drive, listen for clonks or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as the anti-roll bar bushes, lower wishbone bushes, and front MacPherson strut top mountings on the 108 are known to perish with age regardless of mileage. Apply the brakes firmly from around 30 mph and confirm the car pulls up without vibration through the pedal or steering, which would indicate front disc warping common to cars that have spent long periods stationary with surface corrosion on the discs. Also check that the handbrake holds the car on a moderate incline without excessive travel, as the rear drum brake mechanisms on this platform can seize or self-adjust poorly after extended disuse. Given the car's age and the low annual mileage, the buyer should also pay attention to areas the MOT visual inspection does not always cover. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on subframe and suspension arms, as the MOT advisory-free record only confirms what was visible to the tester on that day. Check the coolant level and condition, as the small three-cylinder engines can suffer from internal corrosion after long periods of infrequent running with weak coolant mixtures, and confirm the engine starts cleanly from cold without excessive smoke, which would indicate valve stem seal deterioration from low use. Finally, examine all four tyres for both tread depth and sidewall condition; with this mileage the original-equipment set may still be fitted, and tyres over six years old should be replaced regardless of remaining tread due to硬化 of the rubber compound.
