Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking an econom
Given the 119,235 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the service history. Specifically, verify when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.4L HDI engine. Check for a documented history of oil changes to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been managed correctly.
Negotiate based on the mileage being above the model average. Ensure that any gaps in the service record are addressed, as the MOT history only confirms roadworthiness at the time of testing rather than overall mechanical maintenance.
The 1.4L HDI diesel engine is designed for high fuel efficiency, which helps keep monthly fuel bills low. This model typically sits in a lower insurance group and a competitive road tax band, making it an affordable choice for daily commuting.
Typical maintenance will involve regular oil and filter changes and the occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres. The estimated annual cost reflects these routine requirements alongside fuel and tax.
Although the MOT history shows no defects recorded since 2021, you should physically inspect the vehicle for wear consistent with its 119,235 miles. Check the clutch pedal feel and gear shifts for smoothness, as these components are subject to wear on higher-mileage diesel examples.
Inspect the blue exterior paintwork for fading or scratches and check the interior upholstery for signs of heavy use. During a cold start, listen for any unusual engine noise and check the exhaust for excessive smoke, which can provide clues about the health of the HDI engine.
This blue 2013 Peugeot 208 Active HDI has a recorded mileage of 119,235 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history from 2021 to 2026 shows five consecutive passes with no defects recorded in any of those tests. It presents as a consistent example of this fuel-efficient model.
The Peugeot 208 demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 86.9% across 696 analysed vehicles.
