2019 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · SC04 WOO

The 2019 Peugeot 108 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record since its most recent MOT test on 23 June 2025, where it passed without any defects at 28,107 miles. This marks the fifth consecutive annual pass, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues beyond the isolated windscreen failure in July 2022—an issue now resolved and unrelated to the vehicle’s core systems. The absence of advisories or repeated faults suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing, though the lack of pre-MOT maintenance records means hidden wear cannot be confirmed. The most recent test date, just over a year ago, remains well within the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for vehicles under three years old, though it now falls slightly outside the optimal window for a car of this age. Buyers should verify whether the current owner has adhered to the manufacturer’s service schedule, particularly for fluid changes and suspension components, as these are not routinely inspected during MOT tests. The recorded mileage of 28,107 miles over seven years—approximately 4,015 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2022 failure (25,282 miles) and subsequent pass (25,288 miles) suggests the car may have remained stationary for several months prior to the windscreen replacement, a period that could have allowed minor corrosion or suspension settling to occur. No other mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, which typically points to either storage, low-mileage private use, or potential odometer manipulation—though the latter is less likely given the consistency of the figures. The low mileage does not necessarily preclude wear; components like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled, so visual and functional checks remain essential. Given the lack of mechanical faults in the MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on the windscreen and its surrounding seals, as the 2022 failure indicates a history of glass-related issues. The tester specifically noted an "unacceptable condition," which could imply cracks, chips, or adhesive failure—buyers must confirm whether the current windscreen has been professionally fitted and whether the washer system operates without leaks. Beyond that, the absence of advisories does not preclude wear in less visible areas: the suspension’s rubber mounts and bushings, particularly at the rear, should be examined for cracking or compression; brake discs and pads, while not failed, may exhibit uneven wear if the vehicle has been driven on uneven surfaces. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area, as low mileage does not guarantee rust absence—especially in regions prone to salt or high humidity. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or damaged hangers, as these are not routinely tested but can develop silently over time.
