2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · MM17 WRF

This 2017 Peugeot 108 presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile across four consecutive MOT examinations, with the most recent test on 13 September 2025 returning a pass and no advisories or defects recorded at all. Equally notably, the prior three tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed without a single advisory being raised, which is unusual for a nine-year-old vehicle. This unbroken sequence of clean passes suggests the car has remained mechanically sound throughout its testing history, with no flagged concerns relating to braking components, suspension geometry, lighting, tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. The absence of any advisory history effectively removes the usual first port of call for component degradation analysis, meaning any prospective buyer cannot rely on the MOT record alone to anticipate emerging wear items and must therefore inspect the vehicle more thoroughly on physical examination and test drive. Against an expected annual mileage of around 7,500 to 9,000 miles for a typical urban supermini of this age, the recorded 33,468 miles equates to roughly 3,719 miles per year, which is genuinely low and places this 108 firmly in the light-use category. The MOT testing dates are reasonably evenly spaced at roughly twelve-monthly intervals with no multi-year gaps that would suggest a prolonged off-road period, which removes the lay-up-related concerns such as brake disc corrosion, brake caliper binding, or 12V battery degradation that sometimes accompany low-mileage vehicles with inconsistent testing. The consistent annual MOT pattern indicates the car has remained in active service throughout its life, simply covering fewer miles than average, and is therefore more likely to retain healthy brake discs, callipers, and exhaust components than a vehicle that has covered the same mileage but been used sporadically. Given the absence of any flagged suspension or steering components in the MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a deliberate inspection of the front MacPherson strut top mounts, anti-roll bar drop links, and rear torsion beam bushes, as these are common wear items on Peugeot 108s of this age and would not necessarily have generated advisories if they were only just beginning to deteriorate. On a test drive, listen carefully for clonks or knocking noises from the front suspension when traversing speed humps or uneven road surfaces, and pay particular attention to any vagueness in steering response or uneven tyre wear on the inner or outer edges, which could indicate geometry or component issues not yet severe enough to fail an MOT. Apply the brakes firmly from speed to check for any pedal vibration or pulling to one side, as the front discs and pads should still have substantial material given the low mileage, and any judder at this stage would warrant closer inspection of the discs for lipping or warping. Finally, although the MOT record contains no advisory entries, prospective buyers should pay specific attention to areas the test does not cover comprehensively. Check the engine oil level and condition on the dipstick, as low-mileage short journeys can promote moisture accumulation in the oil, and inspect the coolant and brake fluid reservoirs for clarity and correct level. Examine the underbonnet area and beneath the vehicle for any signs of oil misting around the engine or gearbox, and look at the exhaust system for any surface corrosion or hangers showing distress, particularly toward the rear silencer where corrosion typically initiates. Confirm that all interior electrics, including the infotainment unit, air conditioning, and central locking, function correctly, and verify the tyre manufacturing dates on the sidewalls, as tyres on a low-mileage vehicle can age out before they wear out. Finally, ensure the spare wheel or tyre repair kit is present and that the vehicle history check confirms no outstanding finance or prior accident damage, completing a well-rounded assessment of what is otherwise a notably well-presented example.
