2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · HT16 XTZ

The 2016 Peugeot 108 presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 10 March 2026 at 50,551 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This follows a pattern of consecutive clean passes stretching back to March 2023, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have emerged over the past three years. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, with no advisories or failures to suggest underlying deterioration. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. At roughly 5,055 miles per year, the annual accumulation falls well below the UK average of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 miles. The record shows a significant gap between March 2024 and March 2025, during which the vehicle covered only 1,377 miles, suggesting a period of very light use or possible standing. Conversely, the 10,392 miles added between March 2023 and March 2024 represents a busier period. Despite these fluctuations, the overall low mileage implies reduced wear on consumable components such as brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged inactivity can introduce its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres and moisture-related corrosion in the braking system. With no recurring faults flagged across the entire MOT history, there are no specific problem areas to highlight from the DVSA record. The single failed test on 7 March 2024 at 39,773 miles recorded no defects, indicating the failure was likely administrative, such as a booking error or documentation issue, rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent retest the following day passed cleanly, confirming no underlying defect was present. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on areas that low-mileage vehicles are susceptible to. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing from age rather than wear, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion from standing periods, and examine the underside for any signs of structural rust, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system. Test the operation of all lights, wipers, and washers, and verify that the engine starts cleanly from cold without unusual noises. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity.
