2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · LS16 LVB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-23 at 62,382 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, though the absence of advisories or warnings makes it impossible to verify whether minor issues—such as suspension wear, brake pad thickness, or minor corrosion—were overlooked. The consistent pass status across all tests since 2022 suggests no recurring mechanical failures, but the lack of advisories in the latest cycle raises caution. Buyers should treat this as a baseline for further scrutiny, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage, where even undocumented wear could pose risks. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for its age, averaging around 6,238 miles annually, though the jump from 29,849 miles in December 2023 to 41,401 miles in December 2024—covering just over a year—suggests a period of higher mileage accumulation. The gap between tests is standard, but the absence of any failures during this phase implies either disciplined maintenance or deferred attention to potential wear. The earlier test in 2022 at 17,151 miles, followed by a nearly 13,000-mile gap before the next, hints at inconsistent servicing intervals, which could have allowed minor issues to develop undetected. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not typically flagged in basic tests. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in this age range. Brake discs and calipers warrant close inspection for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard during the higher-mileage period. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in wet conditions. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or cracks, as catalytic converter failures are often silent until they become critical.
