Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage city car op
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1.2L engine variant. Given the MOT history, verify that the tyre bulge reported in March 2026 was replaced with a high-quality tyre rather than a budget alternative.
You should also use the recent advisory regarding the nearside front inner brake disc to negotiate the price, as this component may require replacement sooner than the other discs. Check that the headlamp aim and registration plate lamp issues from 2025 were permanently rectified.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a competitive road tax band. Maintenance costs for the 208 are generally moderate, though specific attention to the timing belt (if applicable to this specific engine code) is a known cost factor for this model.
Between fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, the estimated annual running cost is likely to be manageable for a budget-conscious buyer.
Carefully inspect the braking system, specifically the nearside front inner disc, which was flagged as worn, pitted, or scored during the March 2026 test. Check all four tyres for any signs of sidewall damage or bulges, following the structural failure recorded in the most recent MOT.
Additionally, refer to the model's aggregate data and check the exhaust system for corrosion and the drive shaft joints for excessive play or noise, as these are among the most common failure points for the Peugeot 208 fleet.
This white 2015 Peugeot 208 is powered by a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 49,151 miles. Its MOT history shows a clean pass in 2024, followed by failures in 2025 and 2026 involving lighting, brakes, and tyres. Overall, the vehicle has been used significantly less than the average Peugeot 208 of this age.
The Peugeot 208 maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 79.8% across nearly 187,000 analysed vehicles.
