2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · HA 7278

The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Evaluating the broader history, the maintenance trend is stable and generally positive. Aside from a minor failure for a non-functional nearside stop lamp in early 2023, which was rectified immediately, the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections. The absence of structural corrosion or significant mechanical failures suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well-maintained. The recorded mileage of 41,961 miles is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,662 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies reduced wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain components, it also suggests the car may have spent significant periods stationary or been used primarily for short urban journeys. This usage profile can lead to specific issues such as carbon build-up in the engine or the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than mechanical wear. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyres, as the December 2024 MOT highlighted perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. Although the latest test was clean, it is essential to verify if these tyres were replaced or if the rubber is continuing to degrade. Inspect the sidewalls for fine cracks and check the date codes to ensure they are not beyond five or six years old, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Perished rubber loses its grip and structural integrity, which can compromise safety during braking and cornering. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and electrical health is required. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and ensure the calipers are not binding, which is a common occurrence when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. The 12V battery should be tested for health, as infrequent use often leads to premature failure. Finally, verify the service history to ensure oil and coolant changes have been performed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, as fluids degrade over time regardless of distance travelled.
