2014 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · YA14 WXE

The vehicle's current roadworthiness appears stable following the January 2026 test, but the recent history reveals a pattern of recurring consumable issues. While the most recent pass at 69,555 miles shows only a single advisory regarding an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, the preceding year was marked by several failures. The January 2025 failure at 58,990 miles was particularly significant, involving binding rear brakes, a rough offside front wheel bearing, and headlight aim issues. Although these specific mechanical faults were resolved by the February 2025 pass, the frequency of tyre-related advisories and failures suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The vehicle has covered 69,555 miles over its 12-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with the recorded data, showing a steady climb from 49,477 miles in February 2024 to 59,006 miles in February 2025, and finally 69,555 miles in January 2026. The roughly 10,000-mile annual increments indicate regular, light usage. However, the period between February 2024 and January 2025 saw a significant cluster of defects, which may indicate that the vehicle sat idle for periods or that maintenance was deferred until the MOT inspection necessitated repairs. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and wheel assemblies. The January 2025 failure for excessively binding rear service brakes indicates that the calipers or parking brake mechanism may be prone to seizing, a common issue on low-use vehicles. Given the previous report of a rough offside front wheel bearing, the integrity of all hub units should be verified. The recurring issues with tyre sidewall damage and perishing across 2024 and 2025 suggest that the rubber may be aging prematurely due to low usage or environmental exposure. Finally, the mechanical inspection should confirm that the headlight aim and registration plate clarity issues noted in 2024 and 2025 have been permanently addressed. While no structural corrosion or suspension component failures were flagged in this period, the repeated tyre advisories imply that the owner should check the current tread depth and sidewall condition across all four wheels to ensure they meet legal standards.
