Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a mechanical inspection of the engine to determine the cause of the "engine noisy" advisory from June 2026. You should also request service records to see how the engine management light (MIL) failure from February 2024 was resolved.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the documented need for a new exhaust back box and potential suspension work, as suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2024. Ensure that the tyres have been replaced since the 2025 advisory regarding the offside front tyre.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency and typically falls into a lower tax bracket. Insurance costs for the Peugeot 208 are generally competitive, making it a cost-effective choice for those prioritising low monthly outgoings.
However, as the vehicle has now exceeded 90,000 miles, expect higher maintenance costs for wear-and-tear items. Typical expenses will include regular oil changes, tyre replacements, and addressing the recurring brake and exhaust issues seen in the MOT history.
Inspect the rear exhaust system specifically for the leak at the back box mentioned in the 2026 MOT. Listen for any unusual sounds from the engine to assess the "noisy" advisory, and check for any remaining warning lights on the dashboard following the 2024 MIL failure.
Check the front suspension arm bushes for excessive movement, as these were flagged in 2024. Finally, examine the condition of the brake discs and tyre treads, as both have been recurring points of concern in the MOT records between 2023 and 2025.
This black 2016 Peugeot 208 has recorded 91,258 miles, which is notably higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals a failure in February 2024 involving the engine management light and suspension bushes, and the most recent June 2026 test flagged both a noisy engine and an exhaust leak.
The Peugeot 208 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, with frequent failures related to exhausts and tyres.
