Peugeot 108 Active (2016)
2016 Peugeot 108 Active
CarHunch analysed 428 real MOT records for the 2016 Peugeot 108 Active. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Peugeot 108 Active has a first-time MOT pass rate of 70.8%, which sits 9.2 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, suggesting slightly above-average reliability concerns. The data shows no dangerous defects recorded across the cohort, which is reassuring, though the fuel type breakdown appears corrupted (showing 96.9% pass for "Other" fuel and 0.7% for petrol), making it impossible to draw reliable conclusions about petrol versus diesel performance.
At 39,500 miles median mileage for a 2016 model, these cars are showing typical wear for their age. With only 0.13 average failures per vehicle and zero advisories recorded, the failures that do occur are relatively minor, though the sub-80% pass rate suggests they're frequent enough to be a pattern—likely suspension, emissions, or lighting issues common to budget city cars. If you're considering this model, budget for a pre-purchase inspection and expect slightly higher-than-average MOT attention in years 4–8 of ownership.
What to check before buying a 2016 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.
