How Much Is The Road Tax For A Peugeot 107?

If you are wondering about the amount of Road Tax you would need to pay in the case of a Peugeot 107, you will find the answer to your question in the following blog post. Additionally, you will also find detailed guidance regarding the vehicle, its features, and other costs involved as well as a quick run down of its pros and cons.

How Much Is The Road Tax For A Peugeot 107?

The Road Tax that is due on a Peugeot 107 depends on its year of registration. Therefore, if the Peugeot 107 was registered before April 1, 2017, the Road Tax will be based on its CO2 emissions as follows: 

• If the CO2 emissions are less than 100g/km, then the Road Tax will be £0. 
• If the CO2 emissions are between 101-110g/km, then the Road Tax will be £20 for the first year and £20 for each subsequent year. 
• If the CO2 emissions are between 111-130g/km, then the Road Tax will be £20 for the first year and £150 for each subsequent year. 
• If the CO2 emissions are over 131g/km, then the Road Tax will be £205 for the first year and £155 for each subsequent year.

On the other hand, if the Peugeot 107 was registered on or after April 1, 2017, then the Road Tax will be as follows: 

• If the vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, the Road Tax will be at a flat rate of £155 per year. 
• If the vehicle is fully electric, then the road tax will be £0.

If you take the engine and model of the Peugeot 107, then its Road Tax can be classified as follows:

• the three-door model with 0i 68 engine, will be assigned Band A with a Road Tax of £0.00 per year
• the five-door model with 0i 68 engine will be assigned Band A with a Road Tax of £0.00 per year
• the five-door model with 0i 68 2-Tronic engine will be assigned Band B with a Road Tax of £20 per year
• the 3 door model with 0i 68 2-Tronic engine will be assigned Band B with a Road Tax of £20 per year

Since the Peugeot 107 was manufactured between 2005 and 2014 (it was replaced with the Peugeot 108) and its CO2 emissions are generally estimated at 109g/km, you can expect to pay £20 per year as Road Tax.

Is The Peugeot 107 An Economical Car?

Yes, the Peugeot 107 is considered an economical car based on the following features:

A brand new Peugeot 107 is priced between £7,305 and £10,970 while you can get a second one for £870 to £6,114.

• It has low running costs with a fuel economy of 61 – 65 mpg.
• Its three-cylinder engine is capable of more than 60mpg,
• Servicing costs are well-priced.
• Vehicle insurance is assigned to Group 3 making it one of the cheapest vehicles to be insured.
• Its CO2 emissions range between 99g/km to 109g/km; which maintains a low rate of Road Tax.

However, the Peugeot 208 1.5 BlueHDi (100) active manual with a fuel economy of 73.6mpg is cited to be the most economical car in the UK by Auto Express.

What Are The Pros And Cons Of Buying A Peugeot 107?

Like any other vehicle, the Peugeot 107 comes with some pros and cons. For instance, the Peugeot 107 has a three-star rating from the safety body Euro NCAP. It was given a score of 68% in crash tests, with a 78% score for adult occupant safety, a 73% score in terms of child occupant safety and a 53% score for pedestrian safety.

It is an economical car, with an affordable price, low CO2 emissions, Group 3 insurance and Road Tax as low as £20 per year. Additionally, its small size and short overhangs make it a stable yet agile car that can easily be manoeuvred in heavy traffic.

However, there is certain noise that you will hear while working the engine hard but this is quite common in the case of a typical three-cylinder vehicle.

When it comes to reliability, the car fell just one place short of last place at 31 during the 2013 Driver Power manufacturer ratings. Meanwhile, its closest competitor Toyota Aygo made it to the top 150 cars.

Being an older model, the Peugeot 107 does not have the advanced safety systems that are required (and available) in small cars these days.

Conclusion:

The above discussion helps to conclude that based on Peugeot 107’s engine size and low CO2 emissions, it has one of the lowest rates of Road Tax set at £20 per year. It is one of the most economical cars in the UK with an affordable price and excellent features. However, since manufacturing of the model stopped in 2014, there are newer models of the same manufacturer available in the market today.
