2016 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · SY66 NTJ

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by recurring corrosion and brake component failures. While the most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 62,851 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged a corroded offside brake pipe covered in grease. This issue persists from the 2024 test at 59,165 miles and follows a significant failure on 2 October 2024 at 59,088 miles. The 2024 failure was extensive, involving brake disc wear, parking brake inefficiency, and anti-roll bar linkage issues, suggesting a period where essential maintenance was neglected. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,285 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 35,686 miles in September 2020 to 62,851 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the increase in recorded defects from 2021 onwards indicates that mechanical wear is beginning to outpace routine upkeep. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and fuel/brake lines. The history shows a persistent pattern of brake pipe corrosion and fluctuating service brakes, which implies potential issues with the hydraulic integrity or line condition. The tester noted corroded pipes as far back as the 2023 test at 56,214 miles, and the presence of grease on these lines often indicates an attempt to mask corrosion rather than a permanent repair. Further attention should be directed toward the front suspension and structural components. The 2024 failure highlighted worn anti-roll bar linkages and the 2023 record noted sub-frame corrosion. Although the sub-frame was not classed as seriously weakened at that time, the recurring nature of corrosion across various components suggests the vehicle is susceptible to environmental degradation. Inspect the underside for advancing rust and verify that the recent brake pipe issues have been properly rectified rather than merely obscured.
