2015 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · GD64 FXT

The 2015 Peugeot 108 most recently passed its DVSA MOT test on 1 July 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean passes stretching back through June 2024, July 2023, and June 2022. A four-year sequence of advisories-free results is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been conscientiously maintained and presented for test in good mechanical order. The absence of recurring failure points or monitoring items suggests that the braking system, suspension components, exhaust, lighting, and tyres have all remained within serviceable condition throughout the documented history. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable and reassuring, with no visible pattern of deterioration emerging from the official records. With 60,128 miles recorded over approximately eleven years, this Peugeot 108 averages around 5,466 miles annually, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age and significantly below the national average. Low annual mileage of this nature typically implies either light general use or extended periods of standing between journeys, both of which carry their own particular mechanical implications. While low-mileage examples tend to suffer less wear on high-consumption items such as clutches, brake friction material, and engine internals, they are more susceptible to age-related degradation, including rubber and polymer perishing, fluid deterioration through calendar ageing rather than use, and corrosion on components that rely on regular heat cycling to remain dry and functional. Given the clean MOT history and the low-mileage usage characteristics, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on age-related wear rather than mileage-related wear. The tyres warrant close attention for sidewall cracking or perishing caused by prolonged exposure to UV light, and because the vehicle is now eleven years old, it is prudent to check the production date codes on the sidewalls regardless of remaining tread depth, as the rubber compound may have hardened to the point of compromising grip. The braking system should be examined for signs of binding calipers and surface corrosion on the brake discs, both of which are common on cars that have spent significant time stationary; on the test drive, listen for scraping, grinding, or a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal, and verify that the handbrake holds the vehicle securely on an incline. The 12-volt battery is another item of concern, as its effective service life is typically four to six years regardless of mileage, and given the vehicle's age, a battery health check or replacement history should be confirmed with the seller. Beyond the items directly affected by standing or low use, the buyer should also verify that time-based servicing has been carried out, as calendar intervals apply independently of odometer readings. Coolant, brake fluid, and automatic or manual transmission fluid all degrade chemically over time, and a service history confirming these have been renewed within the appropriate intervals will be valuable evidence of proper maintenance. The underside of the vehicle should be examined on a ramp for any signs of underbody corrosion, exhaust system deterioration, or weeping fluid from engine seals and suspension bushes, particularly given the car's age. On the road, pay attention to any clonks or knocks from the suspension over uneven surfaces, as perished bushes are common on vehicles of this vintage, and verify smooth operation of all electrical systems including the infotainment, lighting, and climate control. Finally, confirming a complete service book with documented stamp history, alongside the clean MOT record, will provide strong evidence that this low-mileage Peugeot 108 has been properly cared for throughout its life.
