Overall rating 4/5This compact hatch is best known for outstanding reliability and being one of the most affordable cars to drive and maintain in the UK. The Peugeot 107 is a smart choice for drivers wanting fuss-free, simple motoring – especially around town. First launched in 2005 and produced until 2014, it shares much of its engineering and spirit with the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo. Nimble steering and a light, efficient Toyota-sourced engine make it a perennial favourite with new drivers and those who prioritise value. As a city car, it keeps things basic but practical, seating four with a compact boot and a straightforward dashboard. While it may feel less refined than rivals like the Hyundai i10 or Volkswagen up!, its simplicity and legendary efficiency appeal to those seeking affordable, reliable transport.
The Peugeot 107 comes with twin front airbags and ABS as standard, along with seatbelt pre-tensioners. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) was added to later models. The 2012 Euro NCAP safety rating was 3 stars – modest by today’s standards but typical for small city cars of its time.
All Peugeot 107s use a single engine: a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol, producing around 68bhp. Both a five-speed manual and 2-Tronic automatic gearboxes were offered. There was no diesel version – just the trusted, super-efficient petrol, ideal for city use and short trips.
Technology is basic. Entry-level models come with a CD player and stereo, while some higher trims add air conditioning and electric windows. Factory-fit Bluetooth or advanced infotainment systems weren't available, though many owners retrofit aftermarket solutions.
Official WLTP figures aren’t available for the Peugeot 107 due to its age, but real-world fuel economy for manual models typically ranges between 61 and 66 mpg. Automatics return slightly less. CO2 emissions start at around 99 g/km, resulting in low road tax bands (£0-£20 per year).
Check for a full service history, especially regular oil changes. Listen for noisy timing chains and make sure the clutch and gearbox operate smoothly. Test all electrics and look for signs of water ingress inside the cabin. For extra peace of mind, consider booking The AA Vehicle Inspection before buying.
Yes – the Peugeot 107 has a strong reputation for reliability thanks largely to its Toyota-sourced engine and straightforward mechanicals. Common faults are generally minor and inexpensive to fix, making it one of the most dependable city cars from its era.
