2020 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · MM69 VWH

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 9 September 2025 at 19,145 miles, with a single advisory for front brake discs showing wear, pitting, and scoring—this is not an immediate failure but indicates advanced consumable degradation. The maintenance trend is stable overall, with no new critical defects since the tyre failure in September 2024, and the absence of failures between February 2024 and September 2025 suggests consistent, if minimal, upkeep. The recorded mileage of 19,145 over six years equates to roughly 3,200 miles annually, which is low for its age and implies light or infrequent use. A notable gap exists between the January 2023 and February 2024 tests, with no MOT recorded in 2023, yet the car gained 4,951 miles in that period. The rapid jump from 7,179 to 14,756 miles in just over a year raises questions about usage patterns, followed by a 4,389-mile increase in the next 12 months. This irregularity doesn’t inherently indicate misuse, but it does mean wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension may have been accelerated during those higher-mileage intervals. A buyer must inspect the front brake discs closely—while not yet at failure threshold, the pitting and scoring suggest they are nearing end-of-life and may require replacement soon. The previous nearside front tyre failure due to structural bulge is a serious red flag; even though replaced, the cause—internal cord separation—can stem from impact damage, underinflation, or age-related degradation, so the current tyres should be checked for sidewall integrity, tread depth, and manufacturing dates. Suspension components, particularly the front end, should be examined for wear or corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber bushings drying out or corroding from lack of use. The exhaust and underbody should also be inspected for rust, as infrequent driving can lead to moisture retention and accelerated corrosion in areas not regularly cleared by heat or road spray.
