Peugeot 108 (2015)
2015 Peugeot 108
CarHunch analysed 18,694 real MOT records for the 2015 Peugeot 108. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2015 Peugeot 108 passes its MOT first time in 86.5% of cases, which is a solid 6.5 percentage points above the UK average—but the concerning part is that 35.9% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above typical levels and a genuine buyer red flag. This suggests that while many examples are well-maintained, reliability issues can emerge suddenly and seriously.
At an average mileage of 36,349 miles for a nine-year-old car, these are relatively low-mileage examples, which explains the better-than-average pass rate. However, when failures do occur, they cluster around common issues (1.39 average failures per test) with a notably high advisory count of 10.5 items per vehicle, pointing to wear and corrosion typical of city cars in their second decade. Get a pre-purchase inspection done by a Peugeot-familiar mechanic and specifically ask them to look for evidence of previous damage or repair work, since that 35.9% dangerous defect figure suggests this model has known vulnerability points.
What to check before buying a 2015 Peugeot 108
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.
- ⚠️ 35.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
