2020 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · HY70 RCV

This Peugeot 108 demonstrates a consistently clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three tests, all of which passed without fail. The most recent inspection on 18 June 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed the vehicle met all current roadworthiness standards at 14,094 miles. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of advisories suggests the tester did not identify any components requiring imminent attention. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s low mileage and the potential for deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 14,094 miles over six years—approximately 2,349 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage increments between tests are consistent: 2,315 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and 1,868 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. While this pattern suggests minimal wear on high-mileage components like brakes, suspension, or drivetrain, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored improperly, which could accelerate corrosion or degradation of less-used systems. The absence of advisories on structural integrity or corrosion in prior tests does not guarantee these areas are free from hidden issues. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—due to the low mileage potentially masking subtle wear or fatigue. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, as low-mileage vehicles can develop issues if not regularly serviced. Tyres, despite no recorded defects, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment or suspension problems. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, as rust can develop rapidly in protected areas even with minimal movement. The lack of advisories in prior tests does not absolve the need for these checks.
