2015 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · SH15 FGO

The 2015 Peugeot 108 presents a mixed but broadly stable maintenance picture following its most recent MOT pass on 3 January 2026 at 66,116 miles. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests since at least January 2023, yet the advisory profile reveals a persistent and largely unaddressed corrosion issue across the underside. The trend is neither clearly worsening nor improving. The January 2026 test flagged both rear coil springs as corroded, both front anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes as worn, and noted corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames. Critically, the tester also identified a corroded nearside rear brake pipe covered in grease or other material. This combination of structural corrosion and a compromised brake pipe is the most significant finding in the record and warrants immediate physical inspection. The presence of a child seat preventing full belt inspection is a recurring administrative note rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage progression tells a consistent story of light, regular use. The vehicle recorded 58,831 miles in January 2023, 62,375 miles in January 2024, 64,385 miles in January 2025, and 66,116 miles in January 2026. This equates to annual distances of approximately 3,500 to 1,700 miles in the most recent year, which is low but not unusual for a city car of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings, suggesting the mileage is genuine and the car has been used steadily rather than standing idle for long periods. The low annual mileage may partly explain why corrosion, rather than mechanical wear, has become the dominant theme in the MOT history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural underside of the vehicle. The repeated advisories for corroded front and rear sub-frames, while currently assessed as not seriously weakened, indicate long-term exposure to moisture and road salt without adequate underbody protection. The condition of the rear coil springs is particularly important, as corrosion can lead to sudden spring fracture, especially over sharp road impacts. The worn front anti-roll bar linkage bushes are a minor concern but will contribute to clunking and imprecise handling if left unreplaced. The most urgent item is the offside rear brake pipe flagged in January 2026 as corroded and contaminated with grease. A corroded brake pipe is a safety-critical defect that can lead to brake fluid loss and reduced stopping power. A mechanic should inspect this pipe for pitting, wall thickness, and active leakage before any purchase is finalised. Beyond the corrosion, the 2023 failure for a rough nearside front wheel bearing was rectified before the retest the following day, which is a positive sign of responsive maintenance. The worn front brake discs noted in the same period also appear to have been addressed, as they did not reappear in subsequent tests. Tyres, wiper blades, and consumable items are not flagged in the record, suggesting basic upkeep has been maintained. The overall impression is of a car that has been kept running but not cosmetically or structurally cherished. A thorough underside inspection, with particular attention to the brake lines, sub-frame mounting points, and suspension components, is essential before committing to purchase.
