2016 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · MV66 EXF

The maintenance trend for this 2016 Peugeot 108 remains highly stable, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 87,780 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this occasion. An anomalous fail entry exists for the exact same date and mileage with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or aborted test, but the overriding record shows a complete absence of mechanical or structural advisories across the entire history. This indicates a consistent pattern of baseline mechanical compliance rather than a worsening or resolving trend, as no faults have ever required remediation. Mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's lifespan. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered just 4,530 miles, reflecting light, localized use. However, the subsequent two testing intervals show a sharp increase in wear, with 14,073 miles added by January 2025 and a further 14,201 miles by January 2026. This recent uptick to roughly 14,000 miles per year suggests a transition to longer commutes or sustained motorway driving, which accelerates wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components compared to the prior low-mileage urban running. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential given the recent doubling of annual mileage. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads, as high-speed driving generates significant thermal stress leading to warping or lipping. The suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for premature deterioration, particularly the rear beam axle bushes which can perish on small city cars subjected to sudden heavier use. Checking the exhaust system for corrosion around the flexi-joint and mounting rubbers is also prudent, as increased mileage accelerates metal fatigue. Tyre condition warrants a thorough check; the sudden increase in usage may have accelerated tread wear or caused uneven wear patterns if tracking and geometry were neglected. While the structural integrity appears sound with zero corrosion advisories on record, inspecting the underbody and sills for fresh stone chips or surface rust is wise, especially if the vehicle has recently transitioned from slow urban routes to faster A-roads. The lack of recorded defects implies diligent basic upkeep, but the recent surge in mileage demands verification that consumable replacements keep pace with the increased mechanical load.
