## Why this model

The Peugeot 108 is a fantastic little city car, perfect if you're looking for something compact, super easy to park, and cheap to run. It shares its platform with the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo, which means it benefits from proven, reliable mechanics. It's not going to win any races, but for nipping around town and short commutes, it's a solid, no-fuss choice that won't break the bank.

## What you should pay

For a 2019 Peugeot 108, you're looking at a sweet spot where the initial steep depreciation has already happened. Prices are stable, and you get a relatively modern car for a very reasonable cost. Aim for a well-maintained model with good service history. Don't be afraid to haggle a bit, especially if you find one that's been on the forecourt for a while.

## Which trim to buy

The Allure trim is definitely the one to go for. It adds some really nice features that make a big difference to daily usability and comfort without a huge jump in price. You get a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, alloy wheels, a reversing camera, and more stylish interior touches. It feels much more modern and premium than the lower trims, making it better value in the long run and easier to sell when the time comes.

## What to check before you buy

- Water leaks (around doors/boot seal)
- Clutch wear (especially on manual models in city driving)
- Minor electrical glitches (e.g., infotainment, sensors)
- Rear brake drum wear

## Running costs

Running costs are one of the 108's biggest strengths. Fuel economy for the 1.0L engine is excellent, typically around 60 mpg, which works out to about 11p per mile with current petrol prices. Road tax (VED) for a 2019 model is £180 per year. Insurance groups are low (typically 6-10), making it very affordable for most drivers, especially new ones. Servicing is also generally inexpensive.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Petrol
- **Horsepower**: 68-82 hp
- **Mpg**: 58-65 mpg (combined)
- **Reliability Score**: Good for its class
- **Safety Rating**: 4-star Euro NCAP (2014)

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £7,200 | 100% |
| 2027 | £6,480 | 90% |
| 2028 | £5,970 | 83% |
| 2029 | £5,600 | 78% |
| 2030 | £5,250 | 73% |

Buying a 2019 Peugeot 108 means you're past the steepest part of its depreciation curve. The car has already lost a significant chunk of its value, so you'll experience much slower value loss over the next few years compared to buying a newer model. This makes it a smart financial move for long-term ownership.

Total value lost since new: 27%.
