2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · HX16 HTG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a fluctuating trend regarding brake-related components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 92,012 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure due to an inoperative nearside parking brake and overall efficiency below requirements. This follows an advisory from November 2024 at 88,561 miles regarding the offside rear service brake binding. These recurring brake-related issues suggest a lack of consistent attention to the braking system. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with regular annual testing, moving from 80,584 miles in late 2022 to 92,012 miles by late 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which typically results in predictable wear on consumable parts like suspension bushes and brake hardware. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the recent mechanical failures have been properly rectified. The history of binding calipers and parking brake inefficiency indicates that the rear mechanisms may be seizing or suffering from corrosion. It is vital to check the condition of the brake discs and ensure the parking brake cable tension is correct. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding perishing tyre rubber highlights that rubber components may be degrading due to age regardless of tread depth, necessitating a check of the sidewalls for cracking.
