2017 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · LT67 AVM

The 2017 Peugeot 108’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-08 confirms it remains roadworthy, though the immediate preceding test on 2025-06-03—just 14 days earlier—was a failure without recorded defects. This abrupt retest suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a last-minute correction, as no mechanical issues were logged in either instance. The pattern since 2022 shows consistent annual passes with no advisories or recurring faults, indicating the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures. However, the lack of defects in the failure record raises caution: if no issues were flagged, the retest implies either a straightforward administrative error or a test centre’s failure to detect subtle problems that might not surface until further use. The recorded mileage of 44,402 miles over nine years—approximately 4,934 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gaps between tests are regular, with roughly 12-month intervals between each MOT, but the sudden jump from 33,695 miles in May 2022 to 36,987 miles by May 2023 (3,292 miles in a year) contrasts with the slower accumulation thereafter. This inconsistency could indicate variable ownership or storage periods, which may have affected fluid levels, tyre pressure, or minor corrosion. The absence of advisories in any test does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in areas prone to neglect during low-mileage periods, such as suspension bushes or wheel bearings. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of components that often fail silently or degrade over time despite passing tests. Focus on the suspension—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—where wear can develop without immediate failure. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was stood for extended periods. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as low mileage can mask rust progression. Tyre condition should be checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues, despite the absence of tread-related advisories in past tests. Finally, verify fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—since prolonged inactivity can lead to degradation or contamination.
