Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the exceptionally low mileage for a ten-year-old vehicle, check for signs of infrequent use, such as battery health or perished rubber components. Confirm whether the steering rack advisory from the March 2026 MOT has been addressed, as this will be a primary point for negotiation. Ensure the service history is present, as low-mileage vehicles still require periodic oil and filter changes regardless of distance covered.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, keeping fuel costs relatively low for city commuting. This model typically falls into a lower insurance group and a modest road tax band, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city dwellers. Maintenance costs are generally standard for a small petrol hatchback.
Prioritise an inspection of the steering system, specifically the nearside steering rack inner joint mentioned in the 2026 MOT. Check all tyres for structural integrity, following the 2025 failure involving tears to the inner tyres. Additionally, inspect the exhaust and drive shaft joints, as these are identified as common failure points for the Peugeot 208 in aggregate MOT data.
This red 2016 Peugeot 208 has covered just 26,228 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows four passes and one failure in 2025 due to tyre tears, which were resolved on the same day. The most recent test in March 2026 noted slight play in the nearside steering rack inner joint.
The Peugeot 208 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with frequent failures related to tyres, exhausts, and drive shaft joints.
