Our Verdict
This 2021 Peugeot 208 Active Premium PureTech is a remarkably low-mileage example with a generally clean recent MOT history. Aside from a procedural test failure in late 2024, the car presents a very straightforward profile for prospective buyers.
When inspecting this Peugeot 208, pay close attention to the administrative context of its October 2024 MOT failure, which occurred just three days before a successful pass with zero recorded defects. Verify whether this initial failure was due to a minor procedural issue or a component that required immediate rectification. Given the vehicle's low mileage—averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year—confirm that servicing has been carried out on a time-based schedule rather than purely on mileage.
Negotiate with the selling dealer or private seller based on the completeness of the documentary service record. Because the vehicle is equipped with a PureTech petrol engine, check that any manufacturer updates or recalls regarding the wet cambelt system have been addressed, as these engines require meticulous oil change intervals to prevent premature wear.
The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine in this Peugeot 208 is well-regarded for its fuel efficiency, making it an economical choice for both urban and longer motorway driving. Road tax sits at standard rates for a petrol car registered after April 2017, and insurance groups for the Active Premium trim tend to be moderate, keeping premiums manageable for most drivers.
Typical maintenance costs should remain relatively low given the car's age and extremely low mileage, provided standard consumable items like tyres and brakes have not suffered from lack of use. An estimated annual running cost covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance is approximately £1,000 to £1,200.
Examine the exterior grey paintwork and alloy wheels closely, ensuring the low mileage is reflected in minimal wear to high-contact areas like the driver's seat bolster, steering wheel, and pedal rubbers. Review the exact details of the October 2024 MOT test failure (at 9,331 miles) using the full history report to understand why it was initially refused a pass before being retested and passed three days later.
Under the bonnet, check the condition of the auxiliary belts and look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay. Verify that all onboard technology, including the infotainment touchscreen, parking sensors, and air conditioning, functions correctly during a thorough test drive.
First registered in October 2021, this grey Peugeot 208 Active Premium PureTech features a 1200cc petrol engine and has covered just 12,896 miles by its October 2025 MOT test. Its MOT record shows consecutive passes in 2024 and 2025, though it did experience one test failure in October 2024 at 9,331 miles. The ultra-low mileage and tidy recent testing history make it an appealing option in the used supermini market.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific Peugeot 208 Active Premium PureTech variant is limited, though the model generally benefits from contemporary safety and driver assistance features.
