Question 1

What is Clutch Wear from Heavy Urban Use on the Peugeot 108?

Accepted Answer

The 108 spends most of its life in traffic, so clutches and release bearings wear out well before the rest of the car is finished. A new driver's car often needs a clutch by 50k miles.

Question 2

What is Front Suspension Knuckle and Spring Wear on the Peugeot 108?

Accepted Answer

The front suspension bushes, drop links and springs wear quickly on UK roads. Snapped front springs are a common MOT failure on older 108s.

Question 3

What is Tailgate Seal Water Ingress on the Peugeot 108?
