peugeot 107 road test reports and car reviews

Peugeot 107 2007

I would have given this car a five star rating But having spoken to Peugeot’s so called customer care, about a premature failed clutch at only 23,000 mls on a less than 3 year old car still under warranty; their attitude was negative to say the least. The dealer that I purchased the car from wanted to charge me £400 for a diagnostic check to see if it was fair wear and tear, WHAT at 23,000 they must be having a laugh! So if buying from new make sure you haggle for a second & even third clutch to be fitted when required.

I agree, but what would you say to having a clutch problem without having a clutch? Well, I drive a semi-automatic 107 and the transmission clutch plate has worn out. The Peugeot dealer said that it’s a small car with only 1000cc and that could happen. Surely not with 28.000 km? To renew the old part will cost €66 only on spare parts and I’m not sure how long it would last. What would you do if confronted with such a problem? The funny thing is, that it started whistling some weeks ago and nobody could tell me what it means. The same sound it does when the petrol is low, but a little bit longer.

It leaks - door seals. Leave it out in the rain and the rear footwells fill with water. Twice been repaired by dealer, but still leaking. The same problem as with it’s twin, the Toyota Aygo, and now apparently a well recognised but unpublicised problem.

I am having the same problem, bought it end of November and it’s been back three times. I am waiting for a part to cure it although I’m not quite sure what it is, the after sales is rubbish and I bought from main dealer - Maxine from Lancashire

Peugeot 107 petrol manual 2009

This car was bought new has 5.5k miles on the clock. It is driven by my elderly father. I had cause to move the car on wednesday 13th. Jan and noticed that the clutch pedal was coming up from the floorboard a long way before engaging; indicating wear. The clutch was not, however, slipping when driving. later that evening the clutch assembly disintegrated without warning, taking out the gear box casing and causing damage estimated at £4000.00! I am currently in discussion with Peugeot who, initially, tried to blame the failure on wear and tear. I have personally fitted many clutches and usually the symptom of clutch wear is a slipping clutch. Has any body heard of any other problems with this model? Thanks.

I purchased my 107 in june last year and have had no trouble, there is only one thing that isn’t great; when you open the boot everything on the roof or window falls in. Apart from that the car is nippy, good on petrol and reliable.

The one problem I have is when it is or has been raining and you open the rear hatch window, the rainwater pours straight into the boot. I don’t know what the solution is except wipe all the water off before opening. Tedious!

Peugeot 107 Verve 2009

I am puzzled, why does the interior light only come on when the driver’s door is opened? Surely, it should come on when the passenger door, or one of the back doors, is opened?

You are absolutely right. There are a few things, which shows an unbelieveble stingyness, as for an example the right window, which can’t be moved from the drivers side. Was it a problem to put a second switch somewhere in reach point of the driver? But there is a more serious problem I have encountered now. My semi-automatic transmission clutch plate (wow!!!) has a very serious defect and has to be changed at only 27.000km. How come ? The material used is not strong enough and it will be worn out very soon again! So my mechanic advised me to buy a spare part from another firm, not from Peugeot. How could such a thing happen?

Peugeot 107 5 door hatch 2009

As your reports! A smart nicely finished car all round. Just two small quibbles. The petrol gauge and gear selection position is in my opinion on the wrong side of the speedometer as the gear selected is in a shade and hard to see when in manual mode. The second quibble is that to change gear manually in the 107 is opposite to other cars with this type of gear box, ie, to change up to a higher gear you push the gear lever away from you and to change down to a lower gear you pull the gear lever towards you, not as in the 107. As I have only had the 107 for two weeks I still get things wrong. Can you tell me why the change, as things are quite normal in the 307, my previous car?

Peugeot 107 2005

Nicely priced small car which I bought second hand from a dealer near to me. But!! It had no manual with it (suppose it was lost by previous owner) so when I had a fuse gone regarding the side light/tail lights/number plate/dash lights; I thought I would change the fuse. Where the hell are they? It’s not the ones under the bonnet so where the hell are they? Can anyone please tell me as I have a long journey to go on and if it gets dark (as it will) I have no idea where to look for them. Can anyone advise me PLEASE!!!
