2018 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · PL67 AAY

The Peugeot 108 has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over its most recent MOT cycles, with the last test on 6 April 2026—just three months ago—yielding a clean pass at 47,743 miles. There are no recorded defects or advisories in any of the five tests since April 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without any major recurring issues. The absence of failures or advisories on critical systems like suspension, brakes, or emissions indicates no obvious pattern of neglect or impending mechanical failure. However, the record’s silence does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding—which are not routinely scrutinised unless they manifest as a defect. The mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual average of approximately 5,968 miles, which is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car accumulated just 17,085 miles—a little over 5,695 miles per year—despite being driven regularly enough to meet MOT intervals. Notably, there is a 5-month gap between the April 2024 pass and fail (both at 34,176 miles), which appears anomalous and may indicate either a test centre error or a deliberate retest after a minor oversight. The low mileage could imply limited use, extended periods of storage, or even mileage tampering, though no red flags like inconsistent odometer readings are visible in the record. Given the lack of failures or advisories, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that fall outside MOT scrutiny. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of rear bushes and coil springs—since these are prone to deterioration over time without triggering a fail. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as rust can compromise structural integrity without being detected until it becomes severe. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter or manifold failures often go unnoticed until emissions tests fail. The vehicle’s clean MOT history suggests no immediate cause for alarm, but these areas warrant closer scrutiny.
