2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · LO17 XEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a deteriorating trend in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 5 May 2026 at 51,254 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to multiple minor and moderate defects. This pattern suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when necessitated by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 51,254 miles over nine years, this Peugeot 108 has a relatively low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. However, there is a significant spike in usage between the July 2024 test (34,960 miles) and the May 2026 test (51,254 miles), representing over 16,000 miles covered in less than two years. This sudden increase follows a long period of very low activity, which correlates with the age-related cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must inspect the condition of all four wheels, as the 2026 test flagged three distinct road wheels as slightly distorted. This often indicates a history of hitting kerbs or deep potholes, which can compromise wheel alignment and accelerate wear on suspension components. Furthermore, recurring issues with tyre damage—ranging from structural tears in 2024 to cracking and perishing in 2026—suggest that the rubber components are failing due to age and neglect rather than just tread depth. The failure of the windscreen washer system and wipers in May 2026 further points to basic exterior maintenance items being overlooked. During a physical inspection, check for signs of impact damage on the alloys and ensure the registration plate lamp has been replaced. Given the low mileage but age-related defects, the vehicle likely sat for long periods, leading to degradation of fluids and rubber seals.
