Our Verdict
A dependable city car with a consistent
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the transmission. An oil leak was noted at the drive shaft seal in 2023 and again at the transmission sill in 2026; you should verify if any repairs were attempted between these tests. Ensure you review the service history to see if the suspension arm bushes, flagged as worn in 2025, have been replaced.
Use the current tyre condition as a negotiation point. With three tyres flagged in the most recent MOT for wear or perishing, the car will require immediate expenditure to ensure safety and legality. Confirm that the 1.0L engine has had regular oil changes to support its low-mileage status.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and placing the vehicle in a favorable insurance group. Annual road tax for this engine size is typically affordable, contributing to low fixed overheads.
Maintenance costs for this specific car will be higher in the first year due to the required tyre replacements and the need to monitor the transmission leak. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be modest.
Priority should be given to the tyres; the August 2026 MOT specifically notes the nearside front is close to the legal limit and both rear tyres are cracking or perishing. Check the underside of the vehicle, specifically the transmission sill and drive shaft area, for signs of active oil leakage, as this has been an ongoing advisory since 2023.
Additionally, check for any knocking or unusual noise from the front end during a test drive, which could relate to the worn suspension arm pins and bushes noted in the 2025 MOT. As drive shaft joints are a known common failure point for the 208 model, pay close attention to any clicking sounds during tight turns.
This grey 2016 Peugeot 208 has a clean record of five MOT tests with no failures. It has covered 50,108 miles, which is lower than the average annual mileage for this model. However, recent records indicate several advisories regarding tyre condition and a persistent transmission oil leak.
The Peugeot 208 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common failure points often relating to the exhaust, tyres, and drive shaft joints.
