Is the 2008 107 getting worse?

Pass rate of 2008-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	63.5% -1.9 vs same-age
2024	62.0% -2.8 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2008 Peugeot 107 reliable?

2008-registered examples passed 62.6% of their MOT tests (35,289 tests, 2023–2025), -2.5 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 18 years old with a median 81,150 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2008 107?

The median tested example shows 81,150 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
