Our Verdict
A solid option for city driving with a consistent MOT record. The low annual mileage and recent clean pass make this a sensible choice for those seeking a compact petrol hatchback.
When viewing this specific black 208, check the service history to see if the 1.0L engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for small-capacity turbocharged or naturally aspirated units. Given the low annual mileage, ensure that the battery and tyres are in good condition, as vehicles used for short trips can sometimes suffer from battery degradation or flat spots on tyres.
Negotiate based on the service intervals rather than the MOT history, as the MOT only confirms the car met minimum legal standards at a single point in time. Ask for proof of any recent work related to the common Peugeot 208 failure points like exhaust components or drive shafts, even though this specific vehicle has no recorded failures in these areas.
The 1000cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for low-cost urban commuting. Expect relatively low fuel consumption, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Insurance groups for this model are typically low, making it an affordable choice for newer drivers. Maintenance costs are generally moderate, though you should budget for routine items like tyres and brakes. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, falls within a predictable bracket for a small petrol hatchback.
While this vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model highlights exhaust, drive shaft joints, and tyres as common failure points. Inspect the underside of the car for any signs of exhaust corrosion and check the CV boots for any signs of splitting or grease leakage.
Pay close attention to the tyre tread depth and condition across all four wheels, as this is a frequent reason for failure in the wider Peugeot 208 population. Additionally, test the suspension components to ensure there are no knocks or rattles that might indicate wear in the drive shaft or suspension joints.
This 2016 Peugeot 208 features a 1.0L petrol engine and has covered 55,926 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing its MOT tests, with the most recent test in March 2026 recording no defects. Its mileage is notably lower than the model average, suggesting it has been used primarily for short-distance or infrequent trips.
Aggregate data for the Peugeot 208 shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, with common failures relating to exhausts, drive shaft joints, and tyres.
