Our Verdict
This Peugeot 208 is a strong candidate f
When inspecting this specific 2017 Peugeot 208, focus on the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, an MOT is a snapshot of roadworthiness and does not confirm regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance. Check for a stamped service book or digital records to ensure the 1.2L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the drive shaft joints and exhaust system during your test drive. Although this specific vehicle has not shown these issues in its MOT history, they are common failure points for the Peugeot 208 model. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres, as they are a frequent cause of failure for this model type.
The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban driving and low-to-mid range insurance groups. Owners can expect competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake components. Based on the current data, the estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sits in a predictable bracket for a small petrol hatchback.
Since the MOT history for GF17VLD shows no recorded defects, your inspection should focus on components that MOT testers might not catch or that are prone to wear between tests. Specifically, listen for any clicking noises from the front end when turning, which could indicate a drive shaft joint issue, a known common failure for this model.
Examine the underside of the car for any signs of exhaust corrosion and check the tread depth and sidewall condition of all tyres. While the MOT records for this vehicle are clean, these are the most frequent reasons for failure across the wider Peugeot 208 population and should be verified manually.
Registered in March 2017, this grey 1.2L petrol Peugeot 208 has covered 40,525 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has a clean MOT history, having passed its last five annual tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 5,903, this vehicle's usage is slightly higher than the statistical norm but remains relatively low for its age.
The Peugeot 208 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8% across 186,570 analysed vehicles, with common failures involving drive shaft joints, exhausts, and tyres.
