2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · PL65 AFY

The 2026‑03‑02 MOT at 41,531 miles resulted in a pass, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy despite the front brake pads being worn thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). The maintenance record shows a stable trend: after a single failure in 2021, subsequent tests from 2022 onward have all passed with only minor tyre and brake advisories, indicating consistent upkeep rather than a deteriorating condition. The mileage profile is low for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 4,150 miles per year. Increments between consecutive tests are modest and steady—rising from 22,660 miles in early 2021 to 41,531 miles by March 2026—without abrupt jumps that would suggest neglect or long periods of inactivity. The regular interval of annual MOTs and the absence of extended gaps reinforce the impression of light, consistent use. A buyer should prioritize inspection of the front brake system, as thin pads recur across 2025 and 2026 and may signal caliper binding or uneven pad wear; a visual check of calipers, brake discs, and pad thickness is essential. The repeated edge wear on all four tyres (5.2.3 (e)) points to possible alignment or suspension issues, so examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, wheel bearings and tyre pressure is advisable. Additionally, the 2021 failure noting a structural lump on the near‑side front tyre warrants scrutiny of wheel rim integrity and suspension components for distortion or damage. Other items highlighted in the history include the 2021 washer‑fluid deficiency and the 2019 inner‑bead rim distortion, suggesting the need to verify the washer system’s fluid level and condition, and to inspect the wheel rims for cracks or corrosion. Overall, while the vehicle passes recent emissions and structural checks, the recurring tyre and brake advisories indicate that a thorough in‑person assessment of suspension geometry, brake components, and wheel condition is required before purchase.
