2017 Peugeot 108 1.2L Petrol · AF67 DFL

The 1.2-litre petrol Peugeot 108 is among the more frugal small cars on sale, with real-world fuel economy typically in the mid-50s mpg and a low kerb weight keeping running costs modest. Road tax for a 2017 petrol 108 generally falls into a low VED band, though exact cost should be confirmed via the DVLA calculator using the specific CO2 figure.

Insurance is usually group 10 or lower for the 108 1.2, making it one of the cheaper city cars to insure, particularly for younger or city-based drivers. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with parts shared across the Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1 sister models keeping costs reasonable, though the recent brake and tyre work suggests these consumables are due again soon.

Estimate annual running cost: £1,500-£1,900, including fuel, tax, insurance, and allowing for upcoming tyre and brake replacement given the recent MOT advisories.

Start with the items flagged in the most recent MOT: both front tyres showed inner-edge wear, the nearside front tyre was not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions, and the offside rear tyre was perished. Check all four tyres for correct fitment, adequate tread, and any cracking, and budget for a replacement set if any are borderline.

Inspect the front brake discs and pads visually through the wheels, as the 2025 failure noted worn and pitted discs with thin pads. The headlamp aim was flagged as too low on both sides in February 2026, which can often be adjusted, but verify the headlamp mounting is intact and not damaged. Also test the central high-level stop lamp, which has failed or been flagged at both 2025 and 2026 tests.

On the bodywork, the 2026 test noted chips in the windscreen, which may need repair or replacement depending on size and location. The exhaust was also noted as corroded, so inspect the exhaust system for integrity, paying particular attention to mounting rubbers and joints.
