2015 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · OY65 AAF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2026, but the overall maintenance trend is concerning. While the 2025 test was clean, the 2026 report reveals a sudden onset of multiple corrosion advisories affecting both the front and rear sub-frames as well as the rear integral body structure. This suggests a deteriorating structural condition that was either previously unnoticed or has accelerated rapidly, shifting the vehicle from a stable state to one requiring close monitoring of its chassis integrity. With a recorded mileage of 142,339 miles over an eleven-year period, this Peugeot 108 has covered approximately 12,940 miles per year. This is significantly higher than the average for this vehicle class, indicating heavy usage. Such high mileage implies accelerated wear on critical drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and engine internals. The buyer should anticipate that the vehicle is approaching a phase where major component fatigue is likely, necessitating a more rigorous inspection of the mechanical health than would be required for a lower-mileage example. The MOT history indicates recurring issues with the braking system, specifically regarding parking brake efficiency and a previously binding offside rear caliper. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pulling to one side under braking or a spongy pedal feel. Listen for grinding noises or a lack of responsiveness from the handbrake. Given the previous failures and current advisory for 50 percent worn front pads, a full brake service including a check of the calipers and slides is recommended. Additionally, the history of distorted wheels and uneven tyre wear suggests potential alignment issues or previous impact damage, which should be verified by checking for vibration through the steering wheel at higher speeds. The most critical area for inspection is the chassis and sub-frames. The latest advisories regarding corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames and the rear body structure are significant. A prospective buyer should use a torch to inspect the underside for flaking paint, surface rust, or deeper pitting, particularly around the suspension mounting points. While the DVSA currently deems the structural rigidity sufficient, corrosion is progressive. If the vehicle has been used in coastal areas or on salted winter roads, this degradation may accelerate. Ensure the service history confirms regular underbody cleaning or rust prevention treatments to mitigate the risk of future structural failure.
