2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · SE65 HFJ

The overall roadworthiness of this vehicle is concerning, showing a trend of worsening structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 74,449 miles, it had failed just three days prior due to the front sub-frame being corroded and seriously weakened. Although the sub-frame issue was reportedly addressed, the recurring presence of significant corrosion across the chassis and suspension components indicates a vehicle that is struggling with advanced environmental decay. The vehicle has covered 74,449 miles over approximately ten years, averaging roughly 7,445 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with a typical city car of its age, yet the low annual mileage has not prevented the progression of rust. The data shows a gap between September 2023 and September 2024 where the car covered only 3,347 miles, during which the structural condition deteriorated from minor advisories to critical failure-related defects. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity. The MOT history repeatedly flags corrosion on the rear integral body structure axle mounts, the front sub-frame, and the MacPherson struts. Particular attention should be paid to the rear brake pipes, which have been noted as corroded and covered in grease for multiple consecutive years, a condition that can hide further deterioration. The persistent nature of these structural issues suggests that maintenance has been reactive rather than preventative regarding underbody protection. Furthermore, the suspension system shows signs ofchronic wear, with worn arm bushes, anti-roll bar linkages, and drop links flagged across nearly every test period. The presence of perishing tyres and pitted brake discs indicates that rubber components are failing due to age despite the relatively low mileage. Given the history of a weakened sub-frame, a professional structural survey is highly recommended to ensure that the necessary repairs were executed correctly and that the vehicle remains safe for long-term use.
