Peugeot 107: small city hatchback, engines and trims
Peugeot 107 — a small, affordable city hatchback, produced from 2005 to 2014 alongside the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo. In this article, we look at the engines, trims, and what to check before buying a used 107.
107 in brief
The 107 was designed as a simple, economical city car. It's compact, light, and easy to park, making it ideal for city driving and short trips. Available with three or five doors.
The 107 shares its technology with the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo, so there's a wide choice of spare parts and running costs are low. It's a particularly popular choice as a first or second car.
Which version to choose
During its production run, the 107 was updated several times: the front end, headlights, equipment, and interior trim were all changed. Later models usually have better equipment and a more modern look.
Due to its shared technology, the year is less important than the condition and service history. If you can choose, look for a better trim level and not the highest mileage.
Engines and gearboxes
The most common engine is the 1.0-litre petrol (around 68hp), which is economical and straightforward. In some markets, a 1.4-litre HDi diesel was also offered, but it's rarer.
Gearboxes are a 5-speed manual or the robotised 2-Tronic. The robotised box should be thoroughly tested before purchase, as it can be jerky when moving off and changing gear.
What to check when buying a used 107
Check the service history, engine performance, and oil condition. Gear shifts in the 2-Tronic automatic transmission should be smooth, and any hesitation when moving off can indicate issues with the clutch or control mechanism.
Inspect the body, sills, and underbody for corrosion, as well as the suspension and brakes. In a small car's interior, upholstery and plastics can often show signs of wear, so assess these details as well.
