2018 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · LT18 ASX

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-11 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 52,730 miles. The consistent pass history across five annual tests—spanning from 2022 to 2025—indicates a stable maintenance trend without recurring mechanical failures. No advisories or defects have been logged, suggesting the previous owner adhered to basic servicing intervals and addressed any minor wear items promptly. The absence of emissions-related failures also implies the engine and catalytic converter have been maintained within manufacturer specifications. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 6,591 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 failure and subsequent pass—just one mile difference—appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as both tests occurred on consecutive days. There is no evidence of excessive wear or neglect in the mileage pattern, though the buyer should verify whether the vehicle was stored or used inconsistently during periods not reflected in the MOT records. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not directly tested during the MOT but critical for long-term reliability. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common areas for gradual deterioration in this age range. Brake pads and discs, while not failed in MOT tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could indicate past neglect or improper adjustments. Additionally, the underbody should be scrutinised for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as these areas are prone to rust progression over time. The buyer should also confirm the condition of the timing belt or chain if the vehicle is due for servicing, as this is not MOT-tested but critical for engine longevity.
