2014 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · RV64 LHB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 34,429 miles identified split and perished front suspension arm bushes and excessive inner wear on both front tyres. While the car passed, these faults suggest that mechanical components are being run until they reach failure limits. The trend appears stable in terms of passing, yet recurring issues are being addressed only after they trigger MOT failures or significant advisories. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 34,429 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only approximately 2,870 miles per year. This low usage profile often correlates with the degradation of rubber components due to age and stationary time rather than mileage-related wear. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered just 10,195 miles, yet it suffered multiple issues with perished tyres and worn brake components. This suggests the car likely sits for long periods, which can lead to corrosion on braking surfaces and the dry rot of suspension bushings. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry and wheel settings. The history shows a distorted nearside front road wheel in 2023 and recurring inner tyre wear in 2025, which strongly points to an alignment issue or worn control arm bushes. The front braking system has also shown a history of pitted discs and binding offside front calipers between 2023 and 2024. A physical inspection should verify that the calipers are sliding freely and that the brake discs are not excessively corroded, as the low mileage often masks deep surface rust on vehicles not used frequently.
