Our Verdict
This 2014 Peugeot 208 diesel is a reasonable buy if priced sensibly, but the MOT history shows recurring brake and tyre neglect that warrants caution. Budget for immediate maintenance and insist on proof that the 2025 failures were properly rectified.
When viewing this car, ask for the paperwork from the February 2025 MOT failure and the same-day pass that followed, to confirm the near-side front tyre with exposed cords, both front brake pads, the nail-damaged rear tyre and the parking brake were all properly repaired. A 2014 diesel with a history of brake binding and thin pads should have a thorough brake inspection by an independent mechanic before purchase. Check for a consistent service history, as the MOT data alone does not confirm routine maintenance such as timing belt or diesel filter changes.
As a 1.4-litre diesel, this Peugeot 208 should return good fuel economy, typically 60-70 mpg in mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel costs low for a commuter. Road tax for a 2014 diesel of this size is usually in the lower bands, but check the exact VED rate as some older diesels incur a small premium. Insurance groups for the 208 1.4 diesel are generally low (around group 9-12), and routine servicing is inexpensive, though diesel-specific items like DPF cleaning can add cost if the car is used mainly on short trips.
The February 2025 MOT failure recorded a near-side front tyre with ply or cords exposed, off-side rear nail in tyre, both front brake pads wearing thin, insufficient brake lever reserve travel and parking brake efficiency below requirement — confirm all were replaced or repaired and not simply patched. Earlier tests noted near-side rear service brake binding in 2024 and worn front discs, pads and edge-worn tyres in 2023, so inspect the rear brake for sticking and check current disc and pad condition. Look under the car for the defective central exhaust mounting noted in 2024 and ensure it has been secured, and examine all four tyres for even wear and legal tread.
The grey 2014 Peugeot 208 1.4 diesel (A21LCF) has covered 69,875 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025, which is moderate for an 11-year-old car. Its MOT record shows a clean pass in 2025 after a failed test earlier that year for brake pads, tyre damage and parking brake faults, plus advisories in 2023 and 2024 for worn brakes, tyres and minor exhaust issues. The most recent pass with no defects suggests current roadworthiness, but the pattern of wear items being left until failure is a concern.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Peugeot 208, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of A21LCF.
