2015 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · GY65 STZ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a trend of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 79,429 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. The June 2025 failure revealed multiple critical issues, including binding rear brakes, high exhaust emissions, and an insecure exhaust system. This suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced to by an MOT tester, leaving the vehicle to operate with degraded components between testing intervals. At 79,429 miles over eleven years, the car has averaged approximately 7,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light city-car usage. However, the data shows a sharp spike in activity between April 2023 and June 2025, where the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid accumulation, combined with the recurring reports of front oil leaks in both 2023 and 2024, indicates the engine and seals may be under more stress than the low mileage suggests. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system and exhaust assembly. The record shows a history of nearside rear brakes binding and imbalanced axle performance in 2025, which necessitates a check for seized calipers or worn wheel cylinders. The recurring carbon monoxide emission failures in 2024 and 2025 point to potential issues with the catalytic converter or engine mixture that have not been fully resolved. Furthermore, the persistent front oil leak noted across multiple years requires a close inspection of the sump cover and front seal to ensure it is not developing a catastrophic failure.
