2015 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · WJ15 KSY

The most recent DVSA MOT test on 23 October 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, which is a reassuring starting point for any prospective purchaser. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears broadly stable rather than worsening, with two consecutive passes on either side of a single failure event. The vehicle passed first time in November 2022, failed on three major items in October 2024, and has subsequently passed twice without any recorded advisories, suggesting that the issues identified at the failure were rectified properly rather than simply masked. A single MOT failure across a five-year record is not unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, and the clean subsequent tests indicate diligent follow-up maintenance. With 86,882 miles recorded over approximately 11 years, the vehicle is averaging around 7,900 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a small city-focused supermini of this type. There is no evidence of significant mileage gaps or unusually heavy usage that would point to motorway commuting or fleet-style operation, and equally no indication of very low annual mileage that might raise concerns about extended standing periods, corrosion from lack of use, or calendar-based degradation of fluids and rubbers. The mileage progression between tests appears steady, which is consistent with regular commuter or domestic use and suggests the consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and service items are likely to have been replaced at sensible intervals commensurate with this level of use. Given that the only recorded advisory is a minor windscreen wiper blade defect from November 2022, there are no recurring defects to investigate in the MOT history. However, the October 2024 failure relating to both rear wheel bearings being rough when rotated is worth noting. Although these were clearly addressed, prospective buyers should listen carefully on a test drive for any low-frequency humming or droning from the back of the car that rises with speed, as well as any play or clunking when the rear wheels are rocked by hand, since bearing deterioration can recur if the replacement units themselves were of marginal quality. The headlamp insecurity is unlikely to be a recurring issue, though a quick check that both headlamp units are firmly seated and free from moisture ingress would be prudent. Beyond the MOT record, the age of this Peugeot 108 warrants several practical physical checks regardless of the clean paperwork. Tyre sidewalls should be inspected for perishing or cracking from age, particularly given the vehicle is now over a decade old, and the tread depth verified against the 1.6mm legal minimum even though no tyre-related defects have been recorded. The 12V battery should be tested for cranking performance, as batteries in small city cars often suffer from short urban journeys that prevent full recharge, and brake discs should be examined for any significant corrosion or signs of binding calipers, especially given the modest annual mileage which can lead to standing rust. Finally, it is sensible to verify that the service book contains timely entries for oil changes, brake fluid replacement on a calendar basis regardless of mileage, and coolant renewal, as these interval-based services are easy to overlook and are just as important as the wear-based items covered by the MOT inspection itself.
