6 Most Common Peugeot 108 Problems

These are the faults most frequently seen on the Peugeot 108 by UK garages — ranked by how commonly they occur and what they cost to fix.

1
Timing Chain (1.2 PureTech)
High Priority
The 1.2 PureTech in the 108 carries the same timing chain tensioner issue as across PSA Group. A cold-start rattle must be investigated immediately.
💷 Typical repair cost: £600–£1,500
2
Cabriolet Roof Mechanism (Top!)
Watch
The 108 Top! fabric roof can develop motor and switch faults. Roof stuck mid-cycle or failing to latch are common issues.
💷 Typical repair cost: £200–£800
3
Clutch Wear (1.0 VTi)
Watch
City driving wears the 1.0 VTi clutch relatively quickly. A high biting point and slipping clutch are the warning signs.
💷 Typical repair cost: £300–£600
4
Electric Window Regulator
Low Priority
Window regulator failures are seen on 108 models — window drops or stops working on one door.
💷 Typical repair cost: £80–£200
5
Air Con Compressor Failure
Low Priority
AC compressor failures are seen on older 108 models — no cold air and occasional rattling from the front of the engine.
💷 Typical repair cost: £200–£500
6
Infotainment Bluetooth Issues
Low Priority
The MirrorLink infotainment can lose Bluetooth pairing and struggle with phone connectivity.
💷 Typical repair cost: £0–£150

Peugeot 108 — MOT Tips

Check the 1.2 PureTech timing chain for cold-start rattle. Cabriolet roof must operate and seal correctly on Top! models. Check tyre condition on all four corners — city car tyres often suffer from kerbing damage.

Engine management light on before your MOT? It's an automatic fail. Run a MotorLoom diagnostic for £1.99 to get the likely cause and repair cost before booking the test.

Peugeot 108 Tyres

Most Peugeot 108 models run 165/65 R14 or 175/65 R14 depending on trim level and year. Always check the placard inside the driver's door for the exact size for your vehicle.

Summary

The 108 is a cheerful, affordable city car. The 1.2 PureTech timing chain issue is the most important fault to check on turbocharged variants. The naturally aspirated 1.0 VTi is the simpler and lower-risk engine choice.
