Our Verdict
A low-mileage city car that is generally
Pay close attention to the vehicle's maintenance records to see if the 2023 brake disc and pad failures were addressed with high-quality parts. You should also verify that the bonnet latch is now fully operational, as a previous MOT failure noted the bonnet could not be opened.
Negotiate based on the persisting rear light issue. The fact that the central stop lamp has been 'taped up' across multiple tests suggests a lingering electrical or housing fault that has not been permanently rectified. Ensure the service history is consistent with the low recorded mileage.
Equipped with a 998cc petrol engine, this vehicle is designed for urban efficiency and low fuel consumption. It typically falls into a lower VED tax bracket and a low insurance group, making it an economical choice for new drivers or city commuters.
Typical maintenance for this model is generally affordable, although the MOT history suggests that brake components may require periodic replacement. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to larger petrol vehicles.
The primary point of inspection should be the rear lighting cluster; the MOT history specifically mentions the central rear stop lamp being 'taped up' in January 2025 and January 2026. This indicates a persistent issue that requires a proper repair rather than a temporary fix.
Additionally, check the front brake pedal feel and inspect the discs for any signs of premature wear, referencing the 2023 failure for 'seriously weakened' discs. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers clear effectively and the nearside front headlamp is securely mounted, as both were points of failure in previous tests.
This black 2017 Peugeot 108 has covered 43,049 miles. The MOT history reveals a mixture of clean passes and specific failures, including a 2023 incident where the front brake discs were recorded as seriously weakened. Notably, a fault with the central rear stop lamp has appeared as a failure or advisory in three consecutive test records from 2025 and 2026.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot 108 in this dataset.

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.
