2014 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · MJ64 OLO

A pattern of recurring tyre degradation and minor lighting defects characterizes this vehicle's recent inspection history, though the most recent test on 05 June 2026 shows no defects recorded. The record reveals a tendency for rubber components to perish or sustain damage, evidenced by the 2025 advisories regarding cracking on both front tyres and the 2022 failure involving a dangerous structural tear in the offside rear tyre. While the vehicle has moved past the significant brake fluctuations and windscreen damage noted in 2021 and 2022, the intermittent appearance of perishing tyres and lighting issues suggests a history of addressing faults only when they reach specific regulatory thresholds. The recorded mileage of 43,105 miles over a twelve-year period represents a low annual average of approximately 3,592 miles. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short, infrequent journeys. Mechanically, such low usage can lead to the degradation of rubber components like tyres and suspension bushes through age rather than wear, which is consistent with the recorded advisories for perishing tyres and split anti-roll bar linkage bushes. It also means that components like brake discs may experience surface corrosion or pitting due to lack of regular friction, as seen in the 2021 advisory. During a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the front suspension and steering response. The 2022 advisory regarding perished or splitting anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes suggests that while these may have been addressed, any residual wear could manifest as knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps. Additionally, given the previous major failure for excessively fluctuating front service brakes in 2021, the driver should check for any pedal judder or uneven braking performance, which could indicate issues with disc thickness or caliper operation. The history of windscreen damage and lighting defects, specifically the missing registration plate lamp lens and bulb holder, indicates that minor external components have required attention. While the 2026 test was clear, a physical inspection should confirm that all exterior lighting is fully functional and that the windscreen is free from any new stonechips or cracks in the driver's field of vision. Finally, because of the low mileage and the documented history of tyre perishing, a close visual inspection of the sidewalls and tread of all four tyres is necessary to ensure no further cracking or structural degradation is present.
