Peugeot 107 running costs are low. Whether buying new or second hand, the 107 is good value for money and it’s cheap to run. The three-cylinder engine is capable of more than 60mpg, servicing is well priced and insurance is group 3 for all models. Low emissions mean road tax is cheap too.

Thanks to its light weight and small engine, the 107 performs remarkably well on the eco front. The original model is capable of 61mpg and Peugeot 107 emissions are just 109g/km of CO2 while facelifted cars from 2009 are even greener – emitting 106g/km and averaging 63mpg. Cars from the start of 2012 offer 65.7mpg and 99g/km CO2 emissions with the manual gearbox.

The Peugeot 107 was part of a project co-developed by Toyota, and this helped deliver improved build quality. Peugeot 107 reliability is pretty good on the whole and this is a simple car so there isn’t lots of complex technology that can go wrong.

There was a recall for 107s built between 2005 and 2009 for a new accelerator pedal to be fitted but other than that the car is proving reliable on the whole.
