Peugeot 108 Starter Motor Replacement Parts

Most Peugeot 108s do have a conventional starter motor, but not all — the 108 was also sold with a stop-start system that uses a reinforced starter, and some variants were available as a mild hybrid (Pure Tech with e-VTi technology) where the starter-generator unit replaces the traditional starter motor entirely. If your 108 has the 1.0 VTi or 1.2 VTi petrol engine without stop-start, it will have a standard starter motor. Check your engine code on your V5 or via a VIN check before ordering, as this determines which type of unit you actually need.

The Peugeot 108 was produced from 2014 onwards as a single generation, with a facelift arriving in 2018 that brought cosmetic and trim updates but no fundamental engine changes — the 1.0 VTi and 1.2 VTi petrol units carried across. If both cars share the same engine code, the starter motor is very likely to be compatible, but ancillary or mounting changes can occur quietly mid-production, so confirm the part against your exact registration with the breaker before buying.

No — trim levels on the 108, whether Active, Allure, or Roland Garros special editions, do not affect the starter motor fitment at all. The starter motor follows the engine, not the badge, so a car specced as Allure with the same engine code as an Active will use the same unit. The only trim-related cosmetic difference you might notice on a used part is any heat shielding or bracket colour, but this has no bearing on whether the starter motor will work in your car.

Yes — the engine code is the single most important detail for matching a starter motor correctly on the 108. The 1.0 VTi (engine code 1KR) and 1.2 VTi (engine code HMZ or EB2) are different engines that take different starter motors, and the stop-start variants use a heavier-duty unit even within the same engine family. Find your engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check and give it to the breaker so they can match the part precisely.

Quite possibly — the Peugeot 108, Toyota Aygo, and Citroën C1 are all built on the same platform and share the same engine families, meaning mechanically matched starter motors are often interchangeable across all three. However, you should still confirm that the engine codes match exactly and check with the breaker whether the specific unit they have — including whether it is a stop-start or standard variant — corresponds to what your 108 requires. Never assume fitment purely on the basis of the platform relationship without verifying the engine code.

Yes, the 108 is a popular small car and dismantled examples are fairly common in UK breakers' yards, particularly as the 2014–2018 pre-facelift cars age. When requesting a quote on Findapart, include your engine code, the year of your car, and whether your car has stop-start — this gives breakers the best chance of supplying the right unit first time. If you are unsure whether ECU or immobiliser coding is needed for your specific starter, raise this with the breaker, as this is something to confirm against your registration rather than assume.
