2022 Peugeot 108 — MOT failures & pass rate
751 MOT tests on the 2022 Peugeot 108 are in this dataset, and 95.3% of them passed. That is effectively the same as city cars of a similar age (5.7% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in tyres, brakes and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (2.4%) and brakes (1.3%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are brake pads, headlamp aim and tread depth — brake pads alone was recorded 8 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 13.6% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyres | 13.6% | 102 |
| 2 | Brakes | 9.7% | 73 |
| 3 | Other defects | 3.1% | 23 |
| 4 | Visibility | 0.9% | 7 |
| 5 | Road wheels | 0.7% | 5 |
| 6 | Lighting & signalling | 0.7% | 5 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 678 | 4.1% |
| 30-60k | 70 | 10.0% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 112 | 3.6% |
| 2025 | 638 | 4.9% |
What to check before buying a 2022 108
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 2.4% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (2.4% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Brakes (1.3% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Visibility (1.3% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
