Peugeot 108 (2016)
2016 Peugeot 108
CarHunch analysed 17,351 real MOT records for the 2016 Peugeot 108. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Peugeot 108 passes its MOT first time in 87.8% of cases, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, which suggests solid baseline reliability—though the concerning figure is that 30.9% of these cars have suffered a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd typically see. This is a real buyer concern and warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
At 31,754 miles median for an eight-year-old car, these 108s are running relatively light, yet they're averaging 8.6 advisories per test, indicating that minor wear items and maintenance issues crop up regularly. Budget for typical upkeep, and before you commit, have a mechanic specifically check the history of any dangerous defects flagged in the MOT record.
What to check before buying a 2016 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.
- ⚠️ 30.9% 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.
