Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Highly recommended for city drivers due to its exceptionally low mileage and consistently clean MOT record. This is a well-preserved example of a small-engine city car.
When inspecting this specific 108, verify that the low mileage is consistent with the service history; since the car has been driven sparingly, it is vital to ensure it has been serviced annually rather than just on mileage intervals to keep rubber components and fluids in good condition. Check for any signs of brake corrosion, as low-mileage cars can sometimes develop rust on discs if not used frequently.
Given the 2016 registration, ensure the tyres have adequate tread and are not cracking, as tyres often age before the tread wears out. Ask the owner for records of the repair made following the May 2025 MOT failure to ensure the issue was addressed properly before the subsequent pass.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for high efficiency, typically falling into a low insurance group and low tax band. You can expect respectable fuel economy for urban driving, though motorway speeds will see this consumption rise.
Maintenance costs for the Peugeot 108 are generally low due to its simple mechanical design and common parts availability. Estimated annual costs, including fuel, tax, and basic servicing, typically fall between £700 and £900 depending on usage.
Pay close attention to the May 2025 MOT failure; although no specific defect type was listed in the summary provided, you should confirm what the fault was to ensure it wasn't a recurring mechanical issue. Inspect the underbody for any chips or leaks, which are common on older cars regardless of mileage.
Check the interior for wear on the steering wheel and driver's seat; at only 30,000 miles, these should show minimal use. Significant wear could indicate the odometer may have been tampered with or the car has been used in more demanding conditions than the records suggest.
This 2016 Peugeot 108 shows very low usage, having covered just 30,463 miles over ten years—well below the national average for its age. The MOT history reveals a clean streak of passes since 2022, with only one failure recorded in May 2025 which was immediately rectified. The 998cc engine suggests a focus on economical ownership, suited for short-distance urban commuting.
The Peugeot 108 shares its platform with the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo, known for their simple and generally robust mechanical layouts.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 108
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Clutch Wear from Heavy Urban Use(Moderate)
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.
- Front Suspension Knuckle and Spring Wear(Moderate)
The front suspension bushes, drop links and springs wear quickly on UK roads. Snapped front springs are a common MOT failure on older 108s.
