Second Hand Peugeot 108 Handbrake Cable

The Peugeot 108 (2014 onwards) uses a traditional mechanical handbrake lever and cable rather than an electronic parking brake, so a physical handbrake cable does exist on this model. This applies across all engine variants — the 1.0 VTi three-cylinder and the 1.2 VTi — and all trim levels. If you are unsure whether your specific car has a cable-operated or electronic system, check the centre console: a conventional lever confirms a cable is fitted.

The Peugeot 108 was produced as a single generation from 2014, with a facelift introduced in 2018 that brought styling and trim changes rather than significant mechanical revisions to the rear braking system. Cables from pre-facelift (2014–2018) and post-facelift (2018 onwards) cars may well interchange, but because mid-generation running-gear updates are possible and hard to confirm without checking, you should confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing. Giving the breaker your reg is the safest route.

Trim level — whether Active, Allure, Roland Garros, or any other — does not affect which handbrake cable is fitted, as the rear brake and cable setup is determined by the car's mechanical specification rather than its cosmetic grade. All UK-market 108s shared the same basic rear drum brake arrangement regardless of trim, so a cable from any trim should be mechanically equivalent. The breaker may supply a cable with minor cosmetic differences in clips or routing brackets, but these do not affect function.

The Peugeot 108 was offered in the UK with either a 1.0-litre VTi or a 1.2-litre VTi petrol engine, and both variants use rear drum brakes with a cable-operated handbrake. Because the rear brake system is consistent across engine sizes on this model, engine size is unlikely to affect which cable is required. That said, always confirm with the breaker using your registration to rule out any supplier-specific variation.

The Peugeot 108, Toyota Aygo, and Citroën C1 are platform-sharing siblings built together at the Toyota Kolín plant in the Czech Republic, and many mechanical components including the handbrake cable are known to be shared across the three. In practice, cables from the equivalent generation Aygo or C1 are widely reported to interchange with the 108, but because breakers list parts by the vehicle they were removed from, you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your reg before buying. This can be a useful way to find a cable if 108-specific stock is scarce.

Your 2019 108 falls within the facelifted generation introduced in 2018, so a cable removed from another 2018-onwards 108 is your closest like-for-like match. Cables from the original 2014–2018 generation may also fit given the limited mechanical changes at the facelift, but crossing that 2018 boundary means you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Providing your reg plate to the breaker is the most reliable way to ensure you receive the correct cable.
