Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Prioritise a professional underside inspection. The 2024 MOT failure included multiple instances of corroded brake pipes and a corroded front sub-frame. You must confirm that the work carried out to pass the 2024 test was comprehensive and not merely a superficial fix. Ask for specific receipts regarding the sub-frame and suspension arm repairs.
Additionally, check the service history for oil changes, as the 998cc petrol engine requires regular maintenance to remain efficient. Given the high mileage of nearly 89,000 miles, inspect the clutch and gearbox for smoothness, as these are common wear items on small-capacity city cars used for urban commuting.
The 998cc engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this model in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it suitable for low-intensity urban driving.
Maintenance costs for a Peugeot 108 are generally modest, but you should budget for more frequent replacement of consumables like tyres and brake components, as evidenced by the MOT history showing recurring issues with tyres and brake discs/pads. Estimated annual running costs are moderate.
A thorough inspection of the chassis and braking system is essential. Specifically, look for signs of ongoing corrosion on the front sub-frame and suspension arm mountings, as these were flagged in the 2024 MOT. Ensure the brake pipes, which were previously noted as corroded and covered in grease, appear clean and secure.
Check the condition of all tyres; the vehicle has a history of 'cracking or perishing' tyres in both 2023 and 2024. Finally, verify that all lighting, including the central stop lamp and headlamps, is fully functional, as these were recent points of failure.
This 2016 blue Peugeot 108 has covered 88,949 miles, which is relatively high for a city car of this age. The MOT history shows a pattern of corrosion-related issues, particularly in 2024, involving the front sub-frame and suspension components. Although the 2025 MOT returned no defects, the previous history suggests a vehicle that has required significant attention to its underside and braking system.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot 108 to provide a comparative benchmark.

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.
