Used Peugeot 108 2014-2022 reliability review

The pocket-sized Peugeot 108 is well-equipped, cheap to buy and run and makes a fine city car choice.

What should I look for in a used Peugeot 108?

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.

Is a used Peugeot 108 reliable?

The Peugeot 108 didn’t feature in the latest What Car? Reliability Survey, or in the one before that, as there were too few examples for us to report back on. However, our recent evidence suggests that the 108 is more reliable than is the norm for a Peugeot model of this vintage.

However, the Toyota Aygo – a car the 108 is closely related to – did feature in our reliability survey a year or two back. 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.

Meanwhile, the latest 2021-onwards Toyota Aygo X model was actually the top-performing car in the small car class with a perfect overall score of 100%.

Peugeot as a brand ranked 19th out of 31 car manufacturers with an overall score of a middling 90.3%. This put it above Audi, Fiat, MG, Seat and Vauxhall, but below Citroen, Dacia, Kia, Renault and Volkswagen.
