2016 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · FJ16 LZF

The 2016 Peugeot 108 presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 11 March 2026 at 23,159 miles with zero defects recorded. This unblemished MOT history demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity across five consecutive annual tests. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the vehicle has avoided the typical deterioration seen in city cars, suggesting diligent maintenance and careful ownership. Accumulating just 23,159 miles over a decade equates to an exceptionally low annual average of roughly 2,316 miles. The mileage progression reveals steady, incremental usage rather than sudden spikes or prolonged dormancy. Between the February 2022 test at 14,173 miles and the February 2024 test at 18,245 miles, the car covered 4,072 miles over two years, while the subsequent year saw a slight uptick to 2,120 miles before reaching the current 23,159 miles in March 2026. This gradual accumulation points to regular, short-distance commuting rather than long periods of inactivity that can cause moisture-related corrosion or flat-spotted tyres. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than wear. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as low-mileage vehicles often require replacement due to rubber perishing before the tread wears down. The braking system demands scrutiny; infrequent use can lead to corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers, even if the car passed its recent brake tests. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, and the exhaust system inspected for internal condensation corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that rarely reach optimal operating temperature.
