2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · OY17 AWG

The 2017 Peugeot 108 presents as a fundamentally sound and well-maintained vehicle, with a stable and improving roadworthiness trend culminating in a clean pass on 5 May 2026 at 90,676 miles. The most recent test recorded only two minor, non-safety-critical advisories: an inoperative offside registration plate lamp and a non-functioning central high-mounted stop lamp. Crucially, these are simple electrical fixes and do not indicate any underlying mechanical distress. The 2025 test history is particularly telling; a failure on 29 May for an SRS warning lamp was promptly rectified, with a clean pass achieved the following day. This pattern of immediate repair demonstrates a responsible ownership approach, contrasting with a vehicle where faults are ignored. The only other flag in recent years was a minor, non-excessive oil leak noted in April 2024, which has not recurred, suggesting a simple gasket or seal was replaced. The mileage progression is exceptionally linear and well-documented, reinforcing the impression of careful, consistent use. From 63,393 miles in April 2023 to 74,049 miles in April 2024, the vehicle covered 10,656 miles. This increased slightly to 10,992 miles in the following year, reaching 84,049 miles by May 2025. The final jump to 90,676 miles in May 2026 represents 6,627 miles in just under a year, a slight reduction that may indicate a change in use pattern. There are no suspicious gaps or abrupt spikes in the record, and the overall average of roughly 10,000 miles per year is entirely typical for a city car of this age, placing predictable but not excessive wear on its components. A buyer should approach this inspection with confidence but due diligence. The primary focus should be on the engine and under-bonnet area. While the 2024 oil leak advisory did not reappear, a thorough check for any fresh weeping around the sump, rocker cover, or oil filter housing is prudent. Given the urban nature of the Peugeot 108, a detailed examination of the front suspension is advised. Listen for clunks from the top mounts and drop links over rough surfaces, and check the condition of the lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar links, as these are common failure points on small city cars that frequently encounter potholes. The braking system requires a physical check; while no faults were flagged, the rear brakes on these vehicles can suffer from sticking calipers or handbrake mechanism issues, so ensure the vehicle rolls freely when the handbrake is released and that there is no uneven wear on the rear discs or drums. Finally, address the minor electrical items noted in the most recent MOT. Confirm the operation of all external lamps, paying specific attention to the offside number plate lamp and the central high-level stop lamp, as these are simple fixes that should be negotiated or rectified. Inside the cabin, cycle through all functions of the infotainment and heating systems, and verify the SRS warning lamp extinguishes correctly after start-up, confirming the earlier fault was permanently resolved. The tyres and wiper blades should be treated as consumables; check their condition and factor any immediate replacement costs into your offer. Overall, the data paints a picture of a carefully driven, regularly tested car with no significant structural or mechanical concerns evident from its history.
