Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. This 2
If you are considering this vehicle, you must verify that the faults identified in the March 2023 MOT—specifically the noisy exhaust, wheel bearing, and worn brake discs—were actually repaired and not just passed with advisories. Ask for documented proof of work for the suspension ball joints and the anti-roll bar linkage, which were noted as excessively worn during the failure on 2023-03-02.
Negotiate based on the presence of the 'not seriously weakened' sub-frame corrosion and the recorded oil leak. These are areas that may require more expensive attention in the near future. Always check the service history to see if the oil leak has been addressed or if it is a recurring issue.
As a 1598cc petrol model, running costs will be typical for a small hatchback of this era. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but the 1.6L engine is larger than many modern superminis, which may impact MPG compared to smaller displacement variants.
Insurance groups for 2013 Peugeot 208s vary, so you should obtain a specific quote using the registration EO13OCV. Expect moderate maintenance costs, though you should budget for potential upcoming repairs related to the suspension and exhaust components noted in recent MOT history.
A priority inspection should be the underside of the car; the MOT history specifically mentions rear sub-frame corrosion. While recorded as 'not seriously weakened' in 2023, corrosion can progress. You should also check for any signs of the previously noted oil leak to ensure it hasn't worsened.
Listen closely during a test drive for any humming or grinding noises from the nearside front, which could indicate the wheel bearing issue has returned. Additionally, check the condition of the rear brake discs and the exhaust system for excessive noise or visible wear, as these were flagged in the 2023 MOT records.
This white 1.6L petrol Peugeot 208 has covered 63,301 miles since its first registration in April 2013. While it passed its most recent MOT in March 2023, the record shows a failure just days prior with several significant advisories. The vehicle's history includes issues with the exhaust, wheel bearings, and sub-frame corrosion.
Aggregate data from over 186,000 vehicles shows a 79.7% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures related to exhausts, drive shaft joints, and tyres.
