Peugeot 107 engine help!

[ellsbells]

I am looking to buy a Peugeot 107, 3 years old, 1.0 litre engine, 54,000 miles.
I was wondering how many miles the engine can last, or how long the engine will hold out for.

Thank You

Don't really know because there aren't many high mileage examples out there however the engine is actually designed by Daihatsu (half owned by Toyota) so it should be as reliable as a Toyota engine. But what do I know :P


Should probably add the engines been in the Yaris since 2005 so you could probably ask around on yaris forums aswell as the 107/aygo/C1 forums

on modern cars the engine will last longer than the rest of the car

The engine in the 107 is a good engine just make sure you change the oil as per intervals, don't be put off if the exhaust on the car your going to see sounds a bit fruity they are all like that, also its the same engine as in the Yaris but with one cylinder less should do 100k easy if looked after hth

We have a C1 in the family - Exhaust back-box fell off after 11 months , apparently not unusual, but fixed under warranty. Now waiting for new water pump after 13 months another warranty job.

Still, it's economical and fun to drive for a small car.

About as long as the piece of string I have.

What's the exhaust going to see ?
Do 1 litre cars sound fruity ?
Same engine but one cylinder less ? So same but different ?

My 107 1L petrol is still going strong at 184,000 miles. Amazing for a little 3 cylinder engine!

Longest PH thread bump ever?

Amazing thread bump but seeing as it's at the top... we have a 107 from 2007, currently sitting between 145,000 and 150,000 miles. Drinking oil a little bit more than it should but keeps going. Previous owner put a straight through stainless steel exhaust on it. Sounds ridiculous!

Another bump here.....ours 2007 1.0 is on around 95k miles now. Far less than the above numbers but it's still going. Drinks a bit of oil now and has various issues that could do with fixing but has never let us down yet.....(fingers crossed).

Well and truly part of the family now. Have thought about replacing it with something newer and 'better' but we don't really want to part with it!
