2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · LS16 LSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 69,763 miles passed despite the tester flagging severe deterioration of both front anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers and a damaged windscreen. While the car met the legal standard, the presence of these perished rubber-related components indicates that parts are only being addressed once they reach a point of imminent failure. At 69,763 miles, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year over its ten-year life, which aligns with typical usage for a city car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 3,000 miles recorded between the annual tests from 2022 to 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, but the low mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluids, as seen in the recurring suspension issues. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the 2022 failure for worn brake discs and the 2025 advisory for deteriorated ball joint covers suggest a vulnerability to wear in the front end. The 2022 failure also highlighted front tyres worn to the legal limit and unevenly, indicating that previous owners neglected basic maintenance until inspection failure. Given the damaged windscreen noted in 2025 and the previous wiper failure in 2022, the glass and wiper blade assembly should be checked for cracks or poor clearance to ensure no immediate replacement is required.
