2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · MA17 OAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 49,574 miles passed with only minor oil leaks and windscreen damage noted, the previous record from 2024 showed a high volume of mechanical and structural defects. This suggests that components are often only addressed when they reach a failure threshold rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. At nine years old with 49,574 miles, the car has averaged approximately 5,500 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average and indicates light urban use. However, the gap between December 2022 (33,443 miles) and January 2024 (40,095 miles) shows a period of over 7,000 miles driven in thirteen months, which coincides with the discovery of perished rubber components such as the auxiliary belt and suspension bushes that often degrade due to age and exposure despite low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring issues. The records show front suspension arm bushes and rear axle swivel pins were flagged across multiple tests between 2022 and 2024. Furthermore, the 2024 test identified pitted brake discs, corroded brake hoses, and a parking brake with insufficient reserve travel. The buyer should verify if these specific items were actually replaced or if the current system still operates without binding or excessive play. Structural integrity and wheel condition also require attention. The vehicle has documented damage to the nearside outer sill in both 2023 and 2024, and multiple wheel rims were flagged as buckled or distorted over the last three years. The corrosion on the exhaust system noted in early 2024 suggests that surface rust may be progressing, necessitating a close check of the sills and exhaust mounting to ensure the previous damage has not evolved into structural failure.
