2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · HX16 HTE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in April 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test at 56,737 miles secured a pass, the vehicle failed just weeks prior due to lighting and brake-related issues. The mechanical condition appears stable in terms of immediate safety, yet recurring defects persist across multiple years, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than during routine servicing. At 56,737 miles, this ten-year-old Peugeot reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of perishing tyres. Between April 2024 and April 2026, the car covered roughly 5,800 miles, indicating consistent short trips or long stationary periods. However, the low mileage explains the persistent brake disc pitting and scoring, likely resulting from corrosion during inactivity rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows a history of binding on the offside rear and excessive fluctuations in the front service brakes. The repeated mention of pitted and scored discs across 2024 and 2025 indicates that the components are prone to environmental damage. Additionally, the nearside front tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing in both 2025 and 2026, suggesting the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite having tread depth. Electrical elements also require attention, with the central upper stop lamp and rear lamps appearing as faults in multiple consecutive tests. The 2024 failure regarding the nearside rear door not opening from the outside also highlights potential mechanical issues with the door latch mechanism. A physical inspection should verify that all lighting is fully functional and that door linkages operate smoothly to ensure previous defects have been properly rectified.
