2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/s Auto
CarHunch analysed 187 real MOT records for the 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/s Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure PureTech is a solid performer, with a 90% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and only 4.8% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect—well below concerning levels. The petrol engine variant (which makes up the vast majority of this cohort) achieves a 89.6% pass rate, indicating consistent reliability across the sample.
These cars are running light for their age, with a median mileage of just over 20,000 miles, which means most examples have been gently used and haven't yet hit the higher-wear thresholds. The low failure rate of 0.24 per vehicle and modest advisory count of 1.7 suggest routine maintenance issues rather than structural problems—if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm service history and check the condition of wear items like brakes and suspension that typically show up in the advisories.
What to check before buying a 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/s Auto
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.
