Our Verdict
This 2016 Peugeot 208 presents an except
When viewing this Peugeot 208, your main priority should be inspecting the stamped service history. The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol unit relies on a wet timing belt configuration that requires strict adherence to manufacturer oil specifications and timely belt replacements; check the documentation to ensure oil changes have been carried out on schedule and inspect the oil filler cap for signs of belt degradation or contamination.
Take the car on an extended test drive covering various road surfaces. Listen for any knocking from the front suspension or clicking when turning at full lock, as drive shaft joints and front-end components are common wear items highlighted across the wider model dataset. Ensure all electrical features, including the central touchscreen infotainment system, heater controls, and electric windows, operate as expected before negotiating.
With its 1.2-litre petrol engine, this Peugeot 208 should offer modest day-to-day running costs. Fuel economy for this engine variant typically achieves between 50 and 60 mpg on combined cycles, making it economical for both urban commuting and motorway journeys.
Annual VED (road tax) is low for 2016 petrol models of this specification, and insurance falls into relatively low groups, making it viable for newer or cost-conscious drivers. Routine maintenance components like tyres, brake pads, and filters are widely available and reasonably priced, keeping ongoing servicing manageable.
Begin your inspection underneath and around the wheels. Aggregate MOT data across 186,570 tests shows drive shaft joints, exhaust systems, and tyres as the leading failure points for the Peugeot 208. Check the condition of all four tyres for adequate tread depth and even wear across the shoulders, and look under the vehicle for any signs of exhaust corrosion or loose heat shields.
Under the bonnet, verify fluid levels and inspect the condition of the engine oil. During the test drive, assess clutch engagement, brake pedal feel, and listen for any unusual rattles or whining noises under acceleration. Inspect the grey paintwork and body panels for parking scuffs or stone chips typical of urban-driven superminis.
