2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · GJ16 ADZ

Consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards defines this vehicle, which has maintained an unblemished record across eight consecutive annual inspections. The most recent examination on 5 December 2025 resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded, continuing a trend of clean test results that dates back to the vehicle’s first eligibility. This history indicates that the car has not been subject to recurring mechanical failures or persistent component degradation during its decade on the road, providing a stable baseline for its current mechanical state. Accumulating approximately 48,775 miles over ten years results in an average of roughly 4,878 miles per annum, a figure significantly lower than the national average. While this light usage profile suggests reduced wear on high-mileage consumables like timing chains and drivetrain internals, it necessitates a focus on components prone to seizing or perishing through inactivity. The consistent annual testing frequency confirms that the vehicle has remained in regular circulation rather than undergoing prolonged periods of storage, which mitigates the risk of issues typically associated with long-term stationary vehicles. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the primary focus during a test drive should be on the functional integrity of the suspension and braking systems. Listen intently for any metallic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces, as these are primary indicators of wear in the anti-roll bar links or lower suspension arm bushes. Even without historical flags, these components are subject to natural fatigue and should be assessed for play to ensure the steering remains precise and free of vibrations. The braking performance should be evaluated by observing the pedal feel during firm deceleration; any pulsing or judder suggests potential warping of the front discs or uneven pad wear, which can occur if the vehicle has been driven infrequently. Furthermore, ensure the handbrake holds firmly on an incline, as the rear drum or disc mechanisms can occasionally suffer from binding if the vehicle has not been driven daily. A thorough inspection of the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or fuel lines is also advised, as these areas are often overlooked in vehicles that have not required remedial work during their MOT history.
