2019 Peugeot 108 MOT pass rate: 90.8% (15,193 tests)
Is the 2019 108 getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 92.4% +2.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 90.3% +1.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 89.6% +2.6 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.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 108?
