In 2025, 77,108 Peugeot 108 cars had a regular MOT in Great Britain. 81% passed first time, compared with 77% for all cars of the same ages, which makes the 108 better than average. Adjusted for age, it ranks 63 of the 217 most-tested car models.
That comparison matters: older cars fail more often, so a raw pass rate flatters models that are mostly young. We compare each model against every car on the road at the same age.
Pass rate by age
At 3 years old, 94% of 108s passed first time (all cars that age: 88%). By 11 years, that figure is 74% (all cars: 69%). It beats the average car at every age with enough data, from 3 to 11 years.

What to check when buying a used 108
Based on where the 108 fails more often than other cars, these are the checks worth making before you buy:
- Tyres: Check tread across the whole width (uneven wear hints at alignment or suspension faults), and look for cuts, bulges and mismatched brands. Repair guide
- Brakes: Look through the wheels for lipped or scored discs, check the handbrake holds on a slope, and feel for pulling or vibration under firm braking. Repair guide
- Visibility: Check the windscreen for chips in the driver’s view, the wipers for smearing and the washers for working jets. Repair guide
Then check the individual car: its own MOT history will show whether it follows the pattern. A car with repeated advisories in the same weak area is more likely to fail its next test.
