2017 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · RV17 LGF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean inspections to reactive component replacement. The most recent test in February 2026 at 63,310 miles identified new defects involving a corroded offside front coil spring and a faulty offside rear position lamp. While the car passed in 2025 without any defects, the appearance of structural-related corrosion indicates that components are beginning to reach the end of their lifespan due to age rather than high mileage. At 63,310 miles over nine years, the car averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical urban usage for a city car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with a jump from 37,407 miles in March 2022 to 52,054 miles in 2024, and reaching 63,310 miles by early 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber perishation and brake caliper seizing. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and wheels, as the record shows recurring issues with wheel integrity. The tester flagged a distorted offside front road wheel in 2024 and a distorted inner offside front road wheel in 2023, suggesting a history of hard kerbing or impacts that may have affected the alignment geometry. Furthermore, the 2024 test noted all four tyres showed signs of cracking or per, indicating that the rubber compound may be degrading due to age despite the relatively low annual mileage. The corrosion on the offside front coil spring noted in the February 2026 test requires attention to ensure the structural integrity of the spring is not compromised. Prospective buyers should check the remaining suspension springs for surface rust and verify that all lighting assemblies, particularly the multiple-source bulbs, are not failing or oxidised. Given the common failure points of the Peugeot 108, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and exhaust condition is advised to confirm that no hidden wear is developing beyond the recorded advisories.
