Peugeot 2008 Allure (2016)
2016 Peugeot 2008 Allure
CarHunch analysed 138 real MOT records for the 2016 Peugeot 2008 Allure. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Peugeot 2008 Allure has a first-time MOT pass rate of 62.3%, which sits well below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cars encounter moderately higher failure rates than typical. The good news is that none of the 138 vehicles analysed have ever presented a dangerous defect, and there are virtually no advisory issues flagged.
At roughly 49,000 miles, these cars show typical mileage for their age, which means the below-average pass rate isn't simply a function of high wear. With an average of 0.27 failures per vehicle, you're looking at minor, recurring issues rather than catastrophic problems—but if you're considering this model, factor in a higher likelihood of picking up something that won't pass first time. Have a pre-purchase inspection focused on the specific failure patterns affecting this generation, rather than assuming "MOT failures" means major expense.
What to check before buying a 2016 Peugeot 2008 Allure
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
