2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · LW12 BAK

A perfectly clean MOT ledger across five consecutive annual tests ending 10 October 2025 establishes this 2016 Peugeot 108 as a vehicle with an exemplary roadworthiness track record. Each of the recorded tests since 2021 has returned a pass with zero advisories or defects entered by the examiner, meaning no monitored component has been flagged for wear, deterioration, or imminent attention at any point during this five year window. For a ten year old city car, the absence of even minor advisories relating to tyre wear, brake component condition, suspension integrity, or corrosion is unusual and points to either light service use, prompt rectification of wearing parts between tests, or a combination of both. The most recent pass on 10 October 2025 simply continues an unbroken pattern of compliance, with no trend line to interpret because the record contains no failures and no flagged deterioration. Recorded mileage of 100,536 miles across approximately a decade of use equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 10,054 miles, which sits squarely within typical parameters for a vehicle of this age and class. The MOT history itself does not include recorded odometer readings on a per test basis for direct cross checking, but the absence of any mileage related advisory or test anomaly suggests the readings presented are internally consistent. Mechanically, an average annual mileage on a small petrol city car of this generation is unlikely to have produced extreme wear on major drivetrain components such as the engine, manual gearbox, or clutch assembly, provided standard servicing intervals have been observed. Consumption items such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and the 12 volt auxiliary battery would have experienced several replacement cycles by this mileage point, which is entirely normal. From a buyer inspection standpoint, the lack of recorded advisories means there is no specific component flagged in the official history to concentrate on, so attention should shift to the general condition of wearing parts that fall outside MOT test scope or that may have degraded since the most recent pass. On a test drive, listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over uneven road surfaces, which would indicate worn anti roll bar links, drop link bushes, or top mount deterioration common to small Peugeot and Toyota shared platforms. The 108 uses a relatively simple MacPherson strut front arrangement, so any knocking traced to the front corners is worth investigating promptly, as strut replacement can be disproportionately expensive relative to the car value. The braking system should be checked subjectively during a road test for any pulling to one side under moderate pedal pressure, pedal vibration through the foot, or a soft spongy feel that could suggest corroded brake pipes, seized caliper slider pins, or worn front disc thickness approaching the minimum specification. At the rear, the Peugeot 108 typically employs drum brakes which are self adjusting but can suffer from binding if the handbrake mechanism has seized, so confirm the vehicle holds firmly on an incline without creeping. Inspect the underside visually for any fresh oil misting around the engine and gearbox seams, particularly around the cam cover and sump, as well as any signs of coolant residue around the radiator and hose joints. Finally, check that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after ignition, confirm the tyre tread depth is consistently above 1.6 mm across the full width with even wear across both axles, and verify that the spare wheel or repair kit and tool kit are present, as these items are frequently missing on small city cars of this age.
