Our Verdict
This Peugeot 208 is a sensible option for those seeking a high-mileage city car with a relatively clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is significant, the lack of recent defects suggests a stable mechanical period.
Given the high mileage of 95,251 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure regular oil changes and component replacements have occurred. Since this is a 1.2L petrol engine, check for any signs of timing belt wear or replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type at this age and mileage.
When negotiating, consider the high mileage relative to the model average. Ask the seller specifically about recent work done on the suspension or drivetrain, as these are common areas of interest for high-mileage small cars. Ensure the tyres have adequate tread, as tyre issues are a common failure point for this model across the wider dataset.
The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban driving and lower insurance groups. You should expect relatively low fuel consumption, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Peugeot 208 are generally moderate, but with the vehicle approaching the 100,000-mile mark, you should budget for more frequent wear-and-tear items such as brakes, suspension components, and exhaust parts. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the exhaust system and drive shaft joints, as these are top reasons for MOT failures in the Peugeot 208 population. Check for any excessive vibration through the steering wheel or unusual noises from the drivetrain during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues, and check the brake pads and discs. While this specific vehicle's recent MOTs (2023 and 2024) showed no defects, the high mileage means components like bushings and shock absorbers should be visually inspected for leaks or perished rubber.
Registered in September 2015, this black 1.2L petrol Peugeot 208 has covered 95,251 miles as of its last MOT in October 2024. The vehicle has a history of consistent annual testing, with the most recent two tests showing no recorded defects. However, the mileage is notably higher than the model average of 5,889 miles per year.
The Peugeot 208 shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.9% across the dataset, with common failures related to exhausts, drive shafts, and tyres.
