2019 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · GY69 EVC

The 2019 Peugeot 108 presents a largely stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 1 October 2025 at 6,012 miles with zero defects recorded. A minor setback occurred the day before, on 30 September 2025 at 6,011 miles, when the tester flagged a structurally compromised offside front tyre with exposed cord and a sidewall tear. This was clearly rectified immediately before the successful retest. The 2024 test cycle tells a similar story: a wiper blade failure on 1 October 2024 at 4,949 miles was swiftly replaced, resulting in a same-day pass. These patterns suggest a reactive but responsible ownership approach, where identified faults are addressed promptly rather than ignored. The mileage profile is exceptionally low. Accumulating just 6,012 miles over roughly seven years equates to approximately 859 miles per year, far below the UK average. The progression is steady and believable: 4,251 miles by September 2023, 4,949 miles by October 2024, and 6,012 miles by October 2025, representing roughly 700 to 1,060 miles per annum in recent years. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering. However, prolonged periods of very low usage can introduce its own concerns, particularly with perishable rubber components and brake surface condition. Buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition and age. The September 2025 failure exposed a catastrophic sidewall defect, and the September 2023 advisory noted cracking or perishing across three tyres, suggesting the rubber may have deteriorated from age rather than wear. Given the ultra-low annual mileage, tyre replacement is likely driven by age-related degradation rather than tread wear. Inspect all four sidewalls carefully for perishing, cracking, or bulging, and check the date codes to determine whether the current set is the original factory rubber or a replacement. The front brake disc advisory from September 2023 at 4,251 miles is worth noting. Low-mileage vehicles frequently develop surface corrosion on brake discs during extended parking periods, which can cause pitting and scoring. While the tester deemed the discs not seriously weakened at that time, a hands-on inspection should verify whether the braking surfaces remain smooth and free from deep corrosion, particularly if the car has stood idle for long stretches. The windscreen wiper defect in 2024 was a straightforward consumable issue and is unlikely to recur, but confirming the wiper blade condition and washer jet operation remains sensible during any pre-purchase inspection.
