2020 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · MD69 YCS

The 2020 Peugeot 108 presents a stable and recently improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 19,701 miles passed with zero defects, a clean sheet that contrasts sharply with the advisories recorded in previous years. This suggests the previous owner addressed outstanding wear items promptly during the last 12 months. Mileage accumulation is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 10,023 miles in January 2023, rising to 19,701 miles by January 2026, an addition of roughly 9,600 miles over three years. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests covers just 2,820 miles. Such low annual use implies short-journey driving or extended periods of inactivity, both of which accelerate rubber perishing and brake surface corrosion compared to steady motorway mileage. The recurring theme across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is the deterioration of front and rear tyres, flagged repeatedly for cracking and perishing under item 5.2.3 (d) (ii). Three consecutive January tests identified the same tyre degradation, yet the January 2026 test recorded no such defect, confirming replacement. Brake-related advisories also appeared consistently. In January 2023 at 10,023 miles, both front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, and both front service brakes were noted for fluctuating effort. The same fluctuation advisories reappeared in January 2025 at 16,881 miles. The clean 2026 result implies disc and caliper issues were resolved, but a buyer should still verify the condition of the braking system under test drive, listening for judder or uneven pedal feel. A hands-on inspection should focus on suspension bushes and coil springs, which can deteriorate from standing rather than use, and on the underside for surface corrosion given the vehicle’s age and short-trip history. The tyre replacement is confirmed, but checking the date codes on the current set will confirm their freshness. The brake fluctuation history warrants a hard stop from moderate speed to confirm even caliper operation. Overall, the record points to a well-maintained small car with no current defects, though its low-mileage lifestyle demands attention to perishable rubber components and corrosion rather than high-mileage mechanical wear.
