2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · ME67 MOL

A broadly clean MOT history defines this 2017 Peugeot 108, with six consecutive annual passes and only two tests carrying advisory items, both confined to consumable wear rather than structural or mechanical deterioration. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 was a pass, noting only perished rear tyres as a point to monitor. Prior to that, the 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022 tests all returned clean passes with no advisories recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness profile in recent years. The earlier advisory cluster from January 2021 covered front brake disc surface wear and nearside and offside front tyres approaching the legal tread limit, items that would be expected to require replacement on a vehicle of that age and are not in themselves indicative of any underlying mechanical concern. Taken together, the record shows a car that has passed every annual assessment without fail and has only flagged routine tyre and brake disc condition in seven years of testing. With 50,623 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has accumulated at an average rate of around 5,600 miles annually, which sits below the typical mileage for a city-oriented Peugeot 108 of this vintage. The MOT record itself contains no significant gaps in testing cadence, with annual entries consistently from 2021 through 2026, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout this period rather than being laid up for extended stretches. Lower annual mileage of this nature generally means slower wear on major drivetrain and suspension components, though it can also reflect predominantly short urban journeys, which tend to place greater thermal stress on braking components through repeated light application. The mileage progression between tests appears steady and proportionate, with no abrupt jumps that would suggest clock irregularities or unusually intensive use between assessments. For a prospective buyer, the specific items flagged in the advisories should be the focus of a physical inspection and test drive. The 2026 advisory regarding perished rear tyres means both rear tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking and tread depth before purchase, and budget allocated for replacement if the cracking extends into the sidewall structure. Although the front brake disc advisory from 2021 was five years ago, brake discs on low-mileage urban cars are particularly prone to corrosion pitting and lip formation through infrequent heavy use, so the fronts should be inspected for a pronounced outer lip, visible pitting, and any judder or vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal under firm application. The condition of the front tyres should also be checked, as the 2021 advisory noted both sides worn close to the legal limit, which would have necessitated replacement around that time. Beyond the flagged items, a test drive should include a careful listen for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, paying particular attention to the condition of the anti-roll bar bushes, wishbone bearings, and top mounts, as these are known wear points on the 108 platform. Steering should be checked for any pulling to one side, vagueness around the straight-ahead position, or knocking on full lock, all of which can indicate worn drop links or track rod wear. Given the predominantly urban use implied by the mileage profile, the rear drum brakes should be examined for seized adjusters or weakened shoes, and a handbrake test on a moderate incline will confirm whether the rear mechanism is functioning correctly. Finally, a thorough inspection underneath the car for any corrosion to the floorpan, suspension mounting points, and brake pipes is worthwhile, as the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion but a 2017-vintage vehicle is now entering the age range where surface corrosion can begin to develop.
