2017 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · KR17 FPD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the mechanical history reveals a persistent worsening trend regarding the front braking system. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 21,583 miles, the tester identified a dragging offside front brake and noted the discs are pitted and scored. This specific issue is recurring, appearing in records from 2023, 2025, and 2026, indicating that the underlying mechanical fault has not been professionally rectified despite multiple warnings. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. This low usage explains the frequent surface corrosion and material degradation, such as the corroded front discs noted in 2024 at 17,204 miles and the cracking front tyres flagged in 2023 at 14,884 miles. Such patterns often suggest the vehicle sits for long periods, which leads to age-related failure of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces that are not regularly cleared by friction. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front brake assembly to determine if the offside caliper is seizing or if the piston is failing. The recurring nature of the dragging across three years suggests that simple pad and disc replacements were insufficient and a full caliper overhaul is likely required. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as the history confirms the rubber compound is deteriorating due to age despite the low tread depth.
