2020 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · SL20 RYR

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2020 Peugeot 108 was conducted on 7 October 2025 and resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements at the time of inspection. Looking back through the available test history, the vehicle has now passed three consecutive MOT examinations, in August 2023, October 2024, and October 2025, with no advisories or failures logged on any occasion. This consistent and entirely clean record suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has not, to the knowledge of the testing station, developed any rectification-worthy issues with items such as braking performance, suspension condition, lighting, tyres, exhaust integrity, or visible structural corrosion during the recent testing cycle. While a clean MOT history is reassuring, prospective buyers should bear in mind that an MOT is a point-in-time check of minimum safety standards rather than a comprehensive mechanical survey, and the absence of recorded advisories does not preclude the existence of developing wear that may not yet have crossed advisory thresholds. The recorded mileage of 25,721 miles against an age of approximately six years equates to an average annual mileage of around 4,287 miles, which is substantially below the typical usage profile for a vehicle of this type and age. This lower-than-average figure could indicate a combination of light regular use and extended periods of standing, the latter being particularly common with second city cars, commuter vehicles used primarily on fine weather days, or those used predominantly for short urban errands. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-cycle components such as the engine internals, clutch, and transmission, it can also accelerate the degradation of items that deteriorate with age or lack of use rather than mileage. Rubber and composite components are particularly susceptible, and the braking system, exhaust mounting rubbers, and suspension bushes can suffer from dry rot, perishing, or seizing when a vehicle is not exercised regularly. Given the clean MOT record and the low usage profile, the prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related and standing-related deterioration rather than wear-related concerns. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds harden and craze over time irrespective of tread depth, and any tyres older than five years from the date code on the sidewall should be regarded with caution even if legal. Brake discs, particularly on a vehicle that may have been left standing for prolonged periods, are prone to surface corrosion that can cause brake shudder or judder under the initial application; a firm test drive from cold is therefore essential, and any binding calipers, typically indicated by uneven pad wear or a dragging sensation, should be investigated. The underbody and exhaust system should be inspected for signs of corrosion, and all exhaust mountings and rubber hangers checked for brittleness. Additionally, the 12-volt battery should be load-tested if possible, as batteries on lightly used vehicles frequently suffer from sulphation due to incomplete charging cycles, and engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and gearbox fluid should be assessed for time-based degradation rather than purely on mileage, with brake fluid in particular being hygroscopic and due for renewal every two years regardless of use. Finally, the service history documentation should be scrutinised carefully. With annual mileage this low, a service stamp recorded every twelve months is essential, as manufacturers typically stipulate time-based service intervals in addition to mileage intervals, and the absence of regular servicing may have permitted lubricant degradation, oil seal drying, and the accumulation of moisture within the differential or gearbox. Verify that any dashboard warning lights illuminate and extinguish correctly on ignition, and that the air conditioning system, often neglected on lightly used vehicles, operates effectively, as the refrigerant seals and compressor can suffer from infrequent use. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified independent technician, including a borescope examination of the brake caliper pistons, a thorough underbody survey for corrosion, and a check of the timing chain or belt service interval if applicable, would provide further confidence in what is, on the face of the MOT history, a well-cared-for but low-use urban vehicle.
