2014 Peugeot 108 Active

CarHunch analysed 104 real MOT records for the 2014 Peugeot 108 Active. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2014 Peugeot 108 Active passes its MOT first time in only 66% of cases, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which suggests reliability concerns worth investigating before purchase. The good news is that dangerous defects have never been recorded across this cohort, so safety-critical failures are not a pattern issue.

At 45,400 miles median age, these cars have covered modest mileage for a nine-year-old, yet they're still generating an average of 0.36 failures per test, pointing to premature wear or maintenance neglect rather than age-related decay. Before committing to one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on why this model underperforms in its first MOT—likely suspension, lighting, or emissions components—and verify full service history to rule out neglected upkeep.

What to check before buying a 2014 Peugeot 108 Active

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
