Peugeot model reference
Peugeot 108
What our record holds on the 108, sold in the UK 2014 to 2021: body styles, fuel types and the road tax a used one pays.
No reliability figure is published for the Peugeot 108 that this site could cite. What circulates instead is survey data from panels that select themselves, and warranty claim rates published by companies with something to sell.
Any percentage would be our own calculation. Which years count, and whether a facelift and a new generation sharing the 108 name are one model or two, both move the answer, and neither choice is anybody official's.
So the field does not exist. We do not average the other Peugeot models into a number and put it here, and we do not push a marque figure down onto the 108. What is real and specific is the paperwork for one car.
No fault ordering is published for the 108
A 2016 1.0 VTi at about 95 g/km is band A, £20 for twelve months in 2026/27.
That figure is a worked example for the year and engine named, not a rate for every 108. Read the CO2 figure and the first registration date off the V5C before you budget, because both change the answer.

Buying a used 108: what the record settles
Our record puts the 108's UK sales period at 2014 to 2021. That range is the useful starting point, because everything about the cost of running one turns on where a particular example sits inside it. It came in 2 body styles here, hatchback and convertible, with one fuel type, petrol.
The 108 was on sale on both sides of the road tax change of 1 April 2017, and that is the single most useful thing to know before you buy one. An example first registered up to 31 March 2017 is taxed on its CO2 figure under the lettered bands, so engine, gearbox and even wheel size can move two cars of the same year into different bands. One registered from 1 April 2017 pays the flat standard rate instead and its CO2 stops mattering. Two otherwise identical cars a year apart can cost noticeably different amounts to keep taxed, and only the V5C tells you which one you are looking at.
For running costs the fuel matters more than the badge. On a convertible, put your hand in the footwell carpet and look at the roof drainage channels: blocked ones send rainwater inside rather than out through the sill, and the repair is trim and corrosion rather than a roof motor.
None of that is a substitute for the record of the actual car. The invoices name what was replaced, when and at what mileage, and the same job appearing twice in three years says more about a 108 than any statistic about the model ever could. A mileage that goes backwards across a paperwork trail is worth walking away from whatever the badge is.
Peugeot has sold cars in Britain since the early 1900s and built them at Ryton near Coventry until 2006. It is now part of Stellantis, which is why a Peugeot 208 and a Vauxhall Corsa of the same age share a platform and many service parts. The 208 and 308 carry its used volume, and the 1.6 HDi diesel from the 2010s is one of the most common engines in the British small car parc. That is context on the marque rather than on this car, and there is more of it, along with every other model line, on the Peugeot page.
