    I've left a similar comment on a previous 107 video but I leave it again.
    I passed my driving test in 1982 & my bike licence a few years later. I've owned lots of vehicles from ratty old vans to powerful sports bikes to family cars to low-slung sports car. Last year I bought a Peugeot 107 simply because I was sick of haemorrhaging money on my gas guzzler. I was expecting frugal yet miserable motoring but I got the shock of my life because I absolutely adore the little thing. It reminds me of cars I was driving in the 1980s. It actually feels like I'm driving a classic without the fragility of a classic car. The engine note is intoxicating (it actually reminds me of a v twin Kawasaki ER6n I had) , the exhaust sounds throaty, the driving position is superb and it's just fun, fun fun! It feels like I'm piloting a dodgem. You'll be left for dead at the lights by people in their 3 litre turbo diesels and their hot hatches but it doesn't matter because you're having fun in your own space at your own pace. It actually relieves you of the stress of competing, because you can't. I still browse Autotrader and I dabble with ideas of getting something bigger and faster but then I sit in my 107, start driving and I'm immediately reminded why I don't want anything else. And then we have running costs of course. My recent service was half the price of a friend's monthly lease payment, a full set of quality tyres cost me £280, consumables like a wiper blade, oil filter, air filter etc are between 5 & 10 quid, there's no road tax, I get between 55 and 60 mpg and my insurance is cheap. ok I'm 59-years-old so I'm in a low bracket but it's still great value. lastly I thought I'd be bullied by other drivers because I'm in a small car but the opposite is true. Other drivers aren't threatened or intimidated by me so they tend to leave me be. Summary: Iconic cars and surely a future classic (unless the government gets its way and rid the country of all ICE cars.)

      Absolutely agree with these comments. My son has one and while he was at uni I used it for work, I found it quite liberating compared to driving a newer car, and very joyful indeed. Also reminded me of small cars from the 80s which I had when I was younger. The C1 is probably still significantly safer and cheaper to run than those cars were.

Economical, reliable, and fun to drive. I love it, and will run it into the ground. Headlights need buffing a little and needs a full service but other than that doesnt need any money spent on it.

    My first car! Had a 2009 C1. Fantastic little motors, but don't buy one that's spent any of its life by the sea as they're exceptionally rust-prone. Otherwise relatively bulletproof and wonderfully straightforward to learn basic maintenance on. I sold it for more than I bought it (£1190 > £1399) and upgraded to a 2015 Nissan Note last December.

    We had an original Aygo of a similar age which we sold at 5 years old, the electrics were dodgy, heater blower rheostat had gone and it let in water in the boot by the bucket load. Despite that, I still see it locally occasionally. Its still only done 60,000 miles and has never failed an MOT.

    I really enjoy your enthusiasm, Matt, for cars some might find dull . I used to drive a 4x4 4.7l petrol V8 Toyota Tundra and now I drive a 2013 Honda Jazz Si - it’s a perfectly good car for my needs. Can’t go anywhere like my Tundra, and is probably even slower than that tank, but it’s just so reliable and cheap to run. I’ve been thinking of moving into a newer Audi TTS next but I just love the little Jazz’s can do attitude. When I bought it, it provided freedom at a time when I needed to feel freedom the most. Sometimes we just love a car for other reasons than how fast it can go or what fancy gadgets it has.

    These are indeed great little cars. Several years ago, a friend got one from the "bargain basement corner" of a local dealer. Not only did he like it, I liked his one so much that I bought a C1 to go along with it as a second fun car. Not only that, it became my daily driver for work commuting.
    The cars capture a lot of the fun and basic motoring enjoyment that came with the original Mini, but they have the reliability, and some of the sophistication of more modern motoring. As a cheap, economical, well-established, popular little car, there are lots of after-market fun things that people make especially for them and the simplicity of the cars means that working on them is pretty easy. It's real no-frills stuff, but that's actually part of the pleasure.
    After several years of fun motoring, both of us parted company with our respective cars but I know from Govt. tax and MOT records, both cars are still passing MOTs and are on the road.

    Thing that do go wrong. Water in the boot. High level brake light seal perishes and lets the rain in. Easy cheap fix. Higher mileage , the timing chain starts rattling, and fuel guage can become tempremental, and show fuel that you haven't actually got. All run of the mill stuff though. Cracking cars, but watch out for rust at the back of the sills near the rear wheel arches.

    Had an aygo of that modelyear, loved the simplicity and fuel efficiency of it. Perfect for the city where i live.
    Bought it for 999€ (prices here in germany are higher than in UK in general) and drove it for ~2 years before the motor died (at 125.000 km).
    Didnt bother to get it fixed - it served me well for what it cost me.
    I noticed the exact same issues that you mention (almost frightning):
    - cracked hazard light switch (5€ and easy to change)
    - exhaust rusted (almost through) (50€ and just 4 screws)
    - rear drum break pads needed changing (12€ if you can do it yourself)
    - various parts had the read paint faded/clearcoat peeling (didnt bother to fix it)
    Unfortunately the next Aygo model (2014-2022) is still more expensive than other cars in that segment, so i bought a Kia picanto instead.

We paid £2k for it I think. It's 3 door and has Aircon, it's black. It's been generally very good indeed. Apart from needing tyres and servicing (which i do myself) it had the leaky boot / rear lights. Very easily rectified for peanuts. My daughter now shares the car with my son. I am pretty sure it won't have lost too much value given the way prices are. They are also very good fun to drive in my opinion and as others say, have real character. Keep up the good work.

It's a bit scruffy, made very strange noises, the indicator stalk didn't work properly and the clutch has about a centimetre of biting point. I must point out I had a 58 ex demo aygo and I loved it so it was a bit nostalgic.
    Having spent a week with my mum's rust bucket, I fell in love with it again. They are just good fun.

After her car I’m actually convinced these things are indestructible.

    Had one of these as a rental car for a hoilday in the Algarve. It was pretty new and served us well throughout our holiday. Only problen was we went to a local town one evening with lots of back streets, when it got dark we had trouble finding it again probably partly because it was black! Looks like you got a good un there once it had been fettled - probably won't hang around long.

    Occasionally I sell a car, usually from not using it or being bored with it, and I always try and make sure I don't give a prospective buyer any issues he might want to negotiate the price over. That tie wrap on the RF wheel hub cap would make me look deeper for "negotiation points" since it would indicate the previous owner was a cheapskate. Hope you caught that. On the flip side I've always told my son that the worst thing you can do is be interested in a perfect car because there's nothing to negotiate the asking price with. ;-) Love the good news videos.

    As a Peugeot 107 owner, I can attest to them being great little cars. Sure, it's not particularly fast or stylish - but if you want something that's cheap and easy to run as well as surprisingly comfortable and spacious, I say look no further than the 107.

    I think I commented that before, but Laufenn is a sub-brand to Hankook, basically their economy version ;) very good quality, although not as cheap as they had been at the time when they were hitting the market for the first time.
    The 107/C1s/Aygos here in Germany are all ruined meanwhile as well, and yes - the few good ones will be sold at premium, since no really small run-around shopping carts are available any longer as new cars.

    I bought a 2006 3 door Citroen C1 Vibe in 2020 as my first car, it was an absolute rust bucket, 105,000 miles, squeaking clutch, no air con, manual roll down windows, not even a rev counter.
    Other than a persistent engine warning light from one of the previous owners attempting to gas exchange the car? Why idek??? Bc it was my first car I had no idea about maintenance I didn’t check the oil and once my dad checked its levels and it had…none! And yet it had absolutely no issues still running by some miracle. They’re bulletproof cars, take a hell of abuse but they’re SO reliable. I had mine for over 2.5 years, and drove it abroad for the first time to France and back with absolutely no faults. I had to scrap it in the end when the radiator rusted over so much and basically exploded full of yellow brown sludge all under the bonnet (as great as it sounds)
    Genuinely shed a tear when this got scrapped bc it meant so much to me having my own sense of freedom and independence for the first time at the 19.
    Glad to have a car with electric windows and aircon now but the memories from my first car will stay with me forever.

The complete package cost less than just the insurance on other cars I was looking at. Fun little thing to drive as well + like a tardis in the front. I am 6'1" and loads of room.

      They are cheap cars, but I can assure you, they are definitely NOT terrible..
      The Peugeot 107/Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo (essentially the exact same car) are absolutely superb little cars:
      Incredibly reliable engine.
      Cheap to run
      Cheap to tax (quite often, tax is zero)
      9 times out of 10: cheap to repair, and relatively easy as well.
      Spare parts are arguably the easiest to find, and cheapest out there..
      Great fun to drive…really mobile and nippy…
      They are a 2nd hand car dealers dream, as they’re so, so easy to sell..
      We have had our 2014 Peugeot 107 for 5 years, it has sailed through its MOT with no advisories on 4 of the 5 years..
      The one advisory?: front wheels nearing minimum thread, which you’ll get on any car, and simply a case of getting wheels replaced.

    A friend of mine was selling his Hyundai i10 - a 1.2 litre manual transmission with only 15K miles on the clock and FSH, always kept in his garage, for £3,000 and my girlfriend bought it from him at that price and she is very happy with it. The car was made in 2008 or 2009, and apart from the air con not working it's in mint condition.
    Barring some accident happening, the i10 - like this Peugot 107 - will give trouble-free motoring for the next 10 years easily, probably longer if regularly derviced and maintained. So no, selling the Peugot for a shade under £3 does NOT sound greedy, just very reasonable. Happy days...
