2017 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · JM02 RMM

The most recent MOT on 30 October 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three tests in 2024 and 2025 also returned clean passes. The only failure in the history occurred in May 2022 when the front inner brake disc was deemed dangerously weakened; that defect was evidently remedied as the vehicle has passed every test since. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring faults and a return to clean results following the brake‑disc repair. With a recorded 27,258 mi on a 2017 model, the average annual usage works out at roughly 3,000 mi per year, which is well below the typical UK average for a small city car. Such low mileage often points to light daily use or periods of inactivity, both of which can reduce mechanical wear but also introduce age‑related deterioration in components that are not exercised regularly, such as rubber seals, hoses and suspension bushings. When you inspect the vehicle, give particular attention to the braking system. Examine both front discs for surface rust, cracking or uneven wear, and ensure the inner disc surface is free of deep scoring that could indicate hidden weakening. Feel the pedal for a firm, progressive bite and listen for any squeal or metal‑on‑metal clunk when applying the brakes, especially under light to moderate pressure. Verify that the brake pads have adequate remaining thickness and that the calipers move freely without binding or leaking fluid, as corrosion can develop on parts that sit idle for long periods. Because the car has been lightly used for many years, also conduct age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for dry‑rot, cracking or hardening of the rubber, and confirm that the tread depth meets legal limits. Test the 12 V battery voltage and, if possible, have it load‑tested, since prolonged standing can reduce capacity. Look for signs of fluid degradation: coolant should be clear and free of particulates, and both brake and gearbox fluids ought to have been changed at least every two years regardless of mileage. Finally, scan the chassis and under‑body for any rust, especially around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, and confirm that the service book shows regular oil changes and any recommended timing‑belt or chain work appropriate for a 2017 Peugeot 108.
