2014 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · WF64 WPL

Two serious MOT failures have punctuated an otherwise clean record, with a major exhaust leak in October 2022 and an inoperative engine MIL indicator in December 2023, both of which were rectified before the vehicle passed its subsequent tests, the latest being a clean pass on 29 May 2026. Apart from those isolated incidents, the car has consistently cleared its annual MOT without recorded defects, and the only advisory noted was front‑tyre wear approaching the legal limit in 2020. At 69,331 mi the car averages roughly 5,800 mi per year, well below the typical usage for a 2014 model. Such low annual mileage suggests light duty or periods of inactivity, which can be kinder to drivetrain components but may allow rubber, seals and bushings to age without the benefit of regular movement. The MOT history shows no gaps longer than a year, indicating the vehicle has been regularly tested and any emerging issues have been addressed in a timely manner. The 2022 exhaust‑leak failure warrants a thorough inspection of the entire exhaust system for rust‑induced perforations, loose clamps or broken hangers; listen for rattles or hissing at idle and watch for any sulphur‑smelling exhaust in the cabin. The engine MIL fault from 2023 should be confirmed by checking that the check‑engine light remains extinguished, that idle quality is stable, and that there are no noticeable loss of power, rough running or unexpected emissions spikes; a diagnostic scan can reveal whether any fault codes persist. Front‑tyre wear noted in 2020 should be re‑checked for tread depth, sidewall integrity and evenness, as uneven wear could hint at mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. Given the vehicle’s age, a test drive should also include scrutiny of the suspension bushes, ball joints and shock absorbers for clunking or excessive play over bumps, and an assessment of the braking system for pedal feel, pad thickness and any pulsation that might indicate disc wear. Visual inspection of the chassis for surface rust, especially around wheel arches and under‑body sections, is advisable, as is confirming that all lights, indicators and windscreen wipers operate correctly. Addressing these points will give a prospective buyer a clear picture of the car’s current roadworthiness.
