2015 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · VE65 OCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance patterns. While the car passed its November 2025 test at 53,111 miles, it followed a significant failure involving multiple mechanical and safety defects. The tester identified a major exhaust leak, a lagging offside front service brake, and both front tyres reaching the legal wear limit. This trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 53,111 miles over eleven years, the Peugeot 108 shows low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage is consistent with the clean records seen between 2023 and 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 6,000 miles in two years. However, the low mileage correlates with the issues observed in the most recent test. The pitted and scored brake discs recorded in October 2022 and again in 2025 suggest that the braking components may be suffering from surface corrosion or infrequent use during periods of inactivity. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system, as the pitting and scoring noted in 2022 and 2025 indicate the discs are nearing the end of their effective life. The lagging caliper reported in November 2025 requires a physical check to ensure the caliper piston is not seizing or sticking. Additionally, the major exhaust leak identified in the 2025 failure should be verified as fully repaired to prevent further emissions-related failures. Given the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the latest test, a wheel alignment check is also advisable to rule out suspension geometry issues that could cause premature tyre degradation.
