2021 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · LM71 XEZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from minor consumable failures to early component wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 16,575 miles passed despite advisories for both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the rubber components are beginning to degrade due to age and stationary time rather than high-mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,315 miles per year. Between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, the car covered only 2,800 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely sat stationary for extended periods, a condition that often leads to flat-spotting tyres and the hardening of rubber components, which is consistent with the failure of the wiper blades noted in the November 2024 record. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension to determine if the wear on the arm bushes has progressed beyond the advisory stage. The buyer should check for play or knocks in the steering geometry, as worn bushes can affect handling precision. The recurring issue with the 2024 child seats obstructing seat belt inspections suggests a lack of thorough preparation for previous tests, so a manual check of all seatbelt tensioners and mechanisms is necessary. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which frequently occurs on vehicles that are not driven regularly.
