What should I look for in a used Peugeot 108 hatchback?

As with most city cars, pay close attention to the bodywork of any Peugeot 108 you're thinking of buying, looking for scrapes or dents to bumpers and panels. They could end up being quite costly relative to the price of the car to repair and will affect the resale value if you don’t sort them out.

Also look for kerb damage to the alloy wheels (if it has them). The 108 doesn’t come with parking sensors and only some models get a back-up camera to help you manoeuvre the car.

What are the most common problems with a used Peugeot 108 hatchback?

As with the Citroen C1, all Peugeot 108s except the entry-level Access get a 7.0in infotainment touchscreen. Bear in mind that the MirrorLink function that lets you display apps from your phone on the screen isn’t compatible with all iPhones. Make sure you try connecting your mobile to the 108 you're looking at before committing to buy.

Steering column may fail unexpectedly

A recall was issued in 2016 regarding the 108's steering column, warning that a component might not be to specification. The defect – said to affect 985 cars – could lead to an unexpected loss of control. You can contact a Peugeot dealer to have it inspected and replaced at no cost to you if need be.

Rear seatbelts may have incorrect stitching

There was a recall involving 121 vehicles after it was found that the model's rear seatbelts might have incorrect stitching on the belt material that connects the buckle to the anchor plate. Your local Peugeot dealer can replace it for free if necessary.

Is a used Peugeot 108 hatchback reliable?

The Peugeot 108 didn’t feature in the latest What Car? Reliability Survey. However, the Toyota Aygo – a car the 108 is closely related to – did. Out of 21 city car rankings, the Aygo was the second most reliable model featured, which should give you some indication of the 108's reliability.

Peugeot as a brand ranked 22nd out of 30 car manufacturers. If you would like to see the full list for city cars, visit the Reliability Survey pages for more information.
