2016 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · FN16 LTX

A flawless run of four consecutive MOT passes with zero advisories or defects on file marks this Peugeot 108 out as an exceptionally tidy example from a roadworthiness perspective. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 added another clean entry, continuing the unbroken trend established in 2022. There is no corrosion history, no brake or suspension component flagged, and no exhaust or lighting issues documented, which is notable for a 2016-vintage vehicle now approaching a decade in service. The absence of even minor advisories across four tests suggests the car has been consistently maintained to a roadworthy standard, with no recurring weak points telegraphed by the DVSA record. With 24,629 miles on the odometer against a 2016 registration, the vehicle has averaged around 2,463 miles per year, placing it firmly in low-mileage territory. There are no gaps in the MOT history and no anomalous jumps in recorded mileage between tests, indicating the car has been used lightly but consistently rather than left dormant for extended periods or subjected to sudden high-mileage episodes. Mechanically, this gentle usage profile means the wear items typically associated with higher-mileage examples, including brake friction material, clutch components, and drivetrain internals, are likely to retain substantial remaining life. However, low annual mileage combined with a decade of age does warrant attention to items that deteriorate through time rather than use, particularly rubber components and any underbody sealing, even though none have yet been flagged by testers. For a prospective buyer, the clean MOT record means there are no specific component advisories to investigate further, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection should still focus on the areas most prone to age-related deterioration on a small city car of this vintage. Pay particular attention to the condition of the suspension components, including the front MacPherson strut top mounts, rear torsion beam bushes, and anti-roll bar links, listening for any clonking or knocking noises over uneven surfaces that would indicate worn bushes or drop links. The steering should be checked for any vagueness or knocking through the rack, and the front brake discs and calipers inspected for any binding or uneven pad wear given the modest mileage the car has covered. On the road, a test drive should focus on smooth cold-start behaviour, the effectiveness of the clutch biting point, and any warning lights remaining illuminated after the engine has run. Listen for any irregular idling or hesitation from the small three-cylinder engine, which is known to be sensitive to neglect. Inspect the underbody and sill edges closely for any emerging corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and jacking points, as the MOT history does not yet cover structural areas that may be just beginning to deteriorate. Finally, confirm that all tyres are of matching age and manufacture, and check for any oil misting around the engine and gearbox seams, which would be the earliest mechanical signs of wear on an otherwise exemplary low-mileage example.
