2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · MK16 OGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 59,262 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for an ineffective windscreen wiper and perished anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of suspension and rubber components across multiple tests suggests that the owner only addressed mechanical faults once they threatened the MOT certificate status. At 59,262 miles over ten years, the Peugeot has averaged fewer than 6,000 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a city car. This low usage explains the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age rather than high mechanical wear. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,004 miles, indicating long periods of stationary time. Such usage patterns often increase the risk of dry rot in tyres and corrosion on exposed metal components, as seen in the recorded history. A buyer should inspect the entire front suspension closely, as the anti-roll bar linkage bushes and pins have been flagged in both March 2025 and June 2025 tests. The record shows a consistent pattern of tyre perishing and cracking across all four corners between 2024 and 2025, suggesting the rubber is reaching the end of its life regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the brake discs noted in 2024 should be checked for thickness and surface rust, given the low mileage. The tyre pressure monitoring system failure in early 2025 also points to potential sensor issues that are common when a vehicle sits for extended periods.
