2014 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · RO64 FSD

The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, following an earlier pass on 30 September 2024. Over the past six years the record shows a clear pattern of deteriorating front‑brake disc condition and progressive front‑tyre edge wear, culminating in a dangerous failure in September 2023. The subsequent passes in 2024 and 2025, with no further advisories, indicate that the critical brake‑disc issue was remedied and that the vehicle’s overall maintenance trajectory has shifted from a period of decline to a more stable, if still cautious, state. At 28 728 miles the car averages roughly 2 400 mi per year, a very low utilisation rate for a 2014 model. Such limited mileage often points to intermittent or predominantly short‑distance use, possibly with extended periods of storage. Low annual mileage reduces cumulative wear on engine, transmission and suspension components, but it also means that age‑related degradation – tyre rubber perishing, battery electrolyte loss, rubber hose hardening and corrosion of metal parts – can be more significant than mileage‑driven wear. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front braking system. Verify that the discs have been replaced with a matching set and inspect the pads for even wear. On a test drive feel for any pulsation, grinding or a soft pedal, and listen for squeal that may indicate warped discs or contaminated pads. The repeated outer‑edge tyre wear on the nearside front suggests possible excessive positive camber, worn suspension bushes, or misaligned steering geometry; a thorough visual check of the lower control arms, ball joints, and tyre sidewalls for uneven tread, cracking or cupping is essential, and a professional alignment should be confirmed before committing. Also examine the off‑side front tyre for similar age‑related cracking, as the advisories from 2019 and 2020 show the front tyres have been close to the legal limit for some time. Given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, time‑based inspections are as important as mileage‑based ones. Inspect the 12 V battery for sulphation, check the electrolyte level if removable, and have a load test performed to gauge remaining capacity. Examine all fluid reservoirs – brake, coolant, power‑steering and gearbox – for colour change, sediment or loss of volume and consider a complete fluid change if service stamps are absent. Look for signs of corrosion on the chassis, exhaust mounts and under‑carriage, especially around the suspension mounting points, which can develop rust during prolonged stationary periods. Finally, verify that the service book contains regular oil changes and that any major scheduled maintenance (such as timing belt or chain replacement, if applicable) has been recorded; absence of these entries should be treated as a potential future cost.
