Our Verdict
A sensible choice for high-mileage drivers looking for a diesel hatchback. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average, the recent MOT history shows a consistent passing trend without defects.
Given the high mileage of 113,461 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, specifically regarding the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump intervals, which are critical for this engine type. Ensure the previous owner has documented regular oil changes, as diesel engines of this age are sensitive to lubrication quality.
During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the drivetrain. While this specific vehicle has had no recent failures, the aggregate data for Peugeot 208s highlights exhaust, drive shaft joints, and tyres as common failure points. Check the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the exhaust system before committing to a purchase.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Peugeot 208 is designed for efficiency on longer journeys. Fuel economy should be relatively high compared to petrol equivalents, though actual costs will depend on your driving style and whether the car is used for urban or motorway miles.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve standard servicing, but you should budget for potential wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake components. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of exhaust corrosion, as this is a known top failure reason for the Peugeot 208 model across the wider dataset. Check the CV boots and drive shaft joints for any signs of splitting or grease leakage.
Additionally, examine the tyre tread depth and ensure there is no uneven wear, which could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Given the 113,461 miles recorded, also check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the clutch feels consistent during gear changes.
This 2016 Peugeot 208 features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 113,461 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. Compared to the aggregate model average of 5,889 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven extensively. However, the last three MOT tests have passed without any recorded defects, suggesting recent mechanical consistency.
The Peugeot 208 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.9% across the analysed fleet, with common issues relating to exhausts, drive shaft joints, and tyres.
