2018 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · WD67 AXY

The mechanical profile of this 2018 Peugeot 108 centres on a largely clean and stable roadworthiness record over six consecutive MOT tests, with only the most recent examination on 12 February 2026 introducing any items of note. Between January 2021 and January 2025, the vehicle returned pass results with no advisories recorded whatsoever, which is a consistent rather than coincidental pattern for a car of this type and age. The four advisories issued at the 2026 test represent the first mechanical commentary in the DVSA file and are concentrated on the braking and tyre condition rather than structural integrity, exhaust emissions, steering or suspension components. This means the underlying structural and drivetrain fundamentals have not been flagged across the recorded history, although the sudden appearance of wear-related advisories does warrant close physical inspection before purchase. With 21,070 miles recorded across roughly eight years, the vehicle accumulates at an average of around 2,634 miles annually, which is well below typical usage for a city car of this age. The recorded mileage progression between tests is steady rather than erratic, with no sudden jumps or unexplained gaps that would suggest clock irregularities or extended periods off the road. Low annual mileage of this nature reduces wear on high-cycle components such as the engine internals, clutch and gearbox, but it also means that consumables like brake discs and pads may have suffered from infrequent use, corrosion, and surface degradation rather than friction wear, and that rubber components including tyres, hoses and drive belts may have aged through calendar exposure rather than mechanical fatigue. A thorough inspection of all rubber and polymer items is therefore particularly relevant given the usage profile. The 2026 advisories specifically identify both front brake discs as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, alongside slight damage, cracking or perishing on both rear tyres. On a physical inspection, the front discs should be measured for thickness against the manufacturer minimum and examined for lipping or heat scoring, as pitted surfaces on a low-mileage car typically indicate corrosion from light use combined with infrequent heavy braking rather than pad wear, and binding front calipers can accelerate this pitting. Feel for vibration or pulsation through the brake pedal under firm steady stopping, and listen for any grinding or scraping from the front wheels which could suggest pads now contacting the corroded disc surface. The rear tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking, bulges or cuts, and the tread depth checked across the full width as perished rubber may also have lost structural integrity even if tread remains legal. Given the absence of any prior advisories on the braking system across the previous five tests, the simultaneous appearance of disc wear on both front corners and cracking on both rear tyres is consistent with age-related material degradation rather than neglect. A prospective buyer should also check that the rear brake drums or discs, given the likely low mileage, have not seized through lack of use, and verify the handbrake holds firmly on an incline as rear mechanisms can corrode when rarely applied. Finally, request evidence of regular annual use or movement during any recent storage period, because vehicles kept stationary for extended periods commonly develop brake caliper seizure, tyre flat-spotting and corrosion under the wheel arches which would not yet be reflected in the current MOT data.
