2015 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · OU15 WLB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 28 August 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, marking a clean result that continues a generally stable pattern across the recent test history. Across the last eight recorded tests, the 2015 Peugeot 108 has consistently achieved a pass, and apart from one major failure in September 2021 relating to a rear shock absorber fluid leak, there is no indication of recurring or escalating structural or mechanical concerns. The only items noted across the period were advisories for front brake disc wear in 2023 and an inner tyre worn close to the legal limit on the offside front in 2022. Both are normal wear-related observations and neither has reappeared in the two subsequent tests, suggesting these concerns were rectified and have not deteriorated into repeat failures. Overall, the trajectory from 2024 onwards shows a well-maintained vehicle returning clean examinations, which is a positive indicator for any prospective buyer. With a recorded mileage of 54,546 miles over approximately eleven years, this equates to an annual average of just under 5,000 miles, which is notably low for a city-focused supermini of this age. Such modest usage typically points to a vehicle that has either been used for short urban journeys or has experienced extended periods of standing between uses. While low mileage reduces wear on major drivetrain components, it can accelerate deterioration of items affected by age and inactivity rather than use, including brake discs corroding on the inner faces, seizing calipers from infrequent operation, and degradation of rubber components through dry rot. The MOT record shows no obvious mileage inconsistencies, and the consistent annual progression suggests accurate recording across the vehicle's life. Given the clean recent MOT history, the focus for a buyer should turn to age- and inactivity-related checks that the test itself does not fully cover. Tyres on a low-mileage car of this age are particularly worthy of close physical inspection, as eleven years is sufficient for sidewall perishing, cracking, and hardening of the rubber compound even when tread depth remains adequate. Look for any visible crazing or small fissures in the sidewall, and confirm the manufacturing date on the sidewall marking is within the last five or six years. Brake discs should be examined closely for severe surface corrosion, especially on the inner edges where rust can build up unseen, and the caliper slide pins and pistons should be free, as standing can lead to binding that causes uneven pad wear or pulling under braking. On a test drive, listen for any scraping, grinding, or pulsing through the pedal that might suggest corroded or warped braking components, as well as any clunks from the suspension that could indicate perished bushes or weak coil springs. The 12V battery is another area where low-mileage vehicles commonly suffer, particularly if the car has stood for extended periods without regular use, so a battery health and load test is advisable. Coolant and brake fluid are hygroscopic and degrade on a calendar basis rather than through use, so even with low miles these should be replaced in line with manufacturer service intervals, typically every two to four years for brake fluid and longer for coolant. Given the 2021 failure on the offside rear shock absorber for a serious fluid leak, it is prudent to inspect the rear suspension area for any residual staining, and on a test drive listen for any knocking over uneven surfaces, which could suggest compromised dampers or top mounts. Finally, verify that the service book contains stamps at appropriate intervals and that the cambelt, if applicable to this engine variant, has been replaced according to schedule, as these items are time-sensitive rather than mileage-sensitive and are critical to the long-term mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
