2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · LO13 SAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and fluid containment components. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 73,961 miles, it initially failed that test due to multiple mechanical defects. The tester identified damaged front anti-roll bar linkages and a perished lower arm ball joint dust cover which were addressed prior to the pass. The persistence of a front oil leak and newly noted rear brake pipe corrosion suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 9,000 miles between the January 2024 test at 52,614 miles and the December 2024 test at 61,872 miles. This period of higher usage coincides with the appearance of new issues, specifically the corrosion on the rear coil springs which were first noted in late December 2024 and remained a concern through the early 2026 failure. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension assembly specifically to evaluate the extent of the corrosion on the coil springs and the integrity of the rear brake pipe. The recurring front oil leak noted across three consecutive tests since 2024 requires a physical inspection of the engine seals to determine if it is a minor seep or a developing gasket failure. Additionally, the recently replaced front anti-roll bar linkages and ball joint covers should be checked for secure fit to ensure the repairs following the January 2026 failure were executed to a professional standard.
