Our Verdict
This Peugeot 108 warrants significant ca
Given the 157,669-mile odometer reading, a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic is essential, with particular attention to the 1.0-litre petrol engine's internals, clutch wear, and timing chain condition — these components are stressed at this mileage regardless of MOT outcome. Negotiate firmly on price; even at the lower end of the 108 market, heavy-mileage examples should command significant discounts. Inspect the underside for corrosion and check that all previous advisories (shock absorbers, tyres, brake discs, mirror, lighting) have been properly resolved rather than simply passed through subsequent tests. Ask to see any service invoices and confirm oil change intervals have been maintained, as MOT records alone cannot confirm servicing history.
The 1.0-litre petrol Peugeot 108 is frugal, typically returning 50-60 mpg in mixed driving, and sits in a low road tax band due to its sub-100g/km CO2 output. Insurance falls into group 3-5, keeping premiums modest for a city car. However, at 157,669 miles, expect rising maintenance costs — clutch, timing components, suspension bushes, and exhaust are likely candidates for replacement. Estimated annual running costs of £900-£1,200 are realistic given the mileage, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a higher-than-average maintenance allowance.
The MOT history flags shock absorber oil misting (nearside front in both 2024 tests) — physically bounce each corner and look for streaking or wetness on the shock bodies. Tyres have been flagged as worn close to the legal limit on the nearside front in 2023 and offside front in 2025, indicating uneven wear patterns worth investigating for alignment or suspension issues. The 2024 failure cited mixed tyre sizes on the rear axle, which may suggest hasty repair history — check that all four tyres now match and are the correct size. Inspect the rear registration plate lamps (flagged inoperative in 2024) and confirm current functionality. Front brake discs were noted as worn in 2022, so check pad and disc condition now. Finally, examine the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, which was noted as modified in 2023 — confirm any modification is legal and structurally sound.
This 2015 Peugeot 108, finished in purple and powered by the 1.0-litre petrol engine, has covered 157,669 miles as of December 2025 — exceptionally high for a city car of this age. The MOT record shows one outright failure in November 2024 at 149,830 miles, plus recurring advisories across nearly every test covering shock absorbers, tyres, brakes, and lighting. The combination of very high odometer reading and a pattern of minor but persistent defects indicates a heavily worked vehicle requiring close scrutiny.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Peugeot 108, so model-wide reliability trends cannot be quoted from the provided records.

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.
