Peugeot 208 Allure EV (2021)
2021 Peugeot 208 Allure EV
CarHunch analysed 178 real MOT records for the 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure EV is a genuinely reliable proposition, with an 88.5% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%—and only 7.3% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. These cars are still very young with median mileage of just 23,604, so you're mostly looking at vehicles still in their infancy.
When failures do occur, they're infrequent at 0.35 per vehicle on average, though advisories crop up more regularly at 1.8 per car, suggesting minor wear items rather than structural problems. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm battery health and brake condition (common advisory areas on EVs), but the overall MOT picture suggests this is a solid, low-risk buy.
What to check before buying a 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure EV
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.
