Our Verdict
Exercise caution. While the vehicle has
Prioritise reviewing the invoices for the repairs carried out in December 2025. You should verify exactly how the exhaust carbon monoxide and Lambda reading failures were rectified, as emissions issues can sometimes be symptomatic of deeper engine or sensor problems. Ensure the CV boot and wheel bearing replacements were performed by a qualified garage.
Given that the vehicle has covered over 92,000 miles, check the service history for evidence of major interval maintenance, such as the timing belt and water pump, which are critical for this 1.2L engine. Negotiate the price based on the high mileage relative to other 208s of this age.
The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering reasonable fuel economy for urban and suburban driving. It typically falls into a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for many drivers, though the higher mileage may increase the likelihood of wear-and-tear repairs.
Annual costs will include the standard VED tax band for a 2016 petrol vehicle and routine servicing. Given the recorded history of tyre perishing and brake wear, expect a higher annual maintenance budget to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Pay close attention to the offside front of the vehicle. The December 2025 MOT specifically identified a split CV boot and a wheel bearing with play in this area; ensure these have been replaced with quality parts. Check the exhaust system for any signs of leaks or makeshift repairs following the emissions failures.
Inspect all four tyres carefully. The MOT history from 2022 and 2024 repeatedly flagged tyres as 'damaged, cracking or perishing,' suggesting a potential issue with tyre age or storage. Finally, check the brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the 2023 records to see if they have since been replaced.
This blue 2016 Peugeot 208 has recorded 92,484 miles, which is considerably higher than the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of tyre and brake advisories, leading to a comprehensive failure in late 2025 involving the exhaust, CV boot, and wheel bearing.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common failure points including the exhaust and drive shaft joints, both of which are present in this vehicle's history.
