Our Verdict
A fair example of a 2013 Peugeot 208 wit
Focus on the recurring exhaust mounting issues seen in 2023 and 2024 to ensure these have been permanently repaired rather than temporarily patched. Given the 2026 advisories, you should budget for the replacement of the rear tyres and a potential suspension arm repair in the near future.
Check the service records specifically for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine age and mileage. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need to address the suspension bush and tyre perishing noted in the latest MOT.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of power and efficiency for a city car. Insurance groups for the 208 are generally affordable, and road tax will be based on the 2013 CO2 emissions brackets for this engine size.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine consumables, though the aggregate data suggests a tendency for exhaust and drive shaft issues. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Carefully inspect the nearside front suspension arm for movement or play, as this was flagged as worn in the February 2026 test. Examine all four tyres for cracking, perishing, or deep cuts, as tyre defects caused a failure in 2024 and remain an advisory in 2026.
Check under the vehicle for the condition of the exhaust mountings; the history shows broken mount pegs in 2023 and a defective mounting in 2024. Finally, check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, which was noted as an advisory in 2023.
This silver 1.6L petrol Peugeot 208 has recorded 84,678 miles. Its MOT history shows a failure in March 2024 related to tyres and exhaust mountings, with similar advisories appearing in 2023. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in February 2026, there are active advisories regarding the nearside front suspension arm and rear tyre condition.
The Peugeot 208 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common failure points including the exhaust, tyres, and drive shaft joints.
