2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/s
CarHunch analysed 1,920 real MOT records for the 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/s. 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 noticeably reliable performer, with an 89.8% first-time pass rate that sits nearly 10 percentage points above the UK average of 80%. Only 5.6% of these vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is well within acceptable limits for a car of this age.
At just over 25,000 miles median, these cars are still quite young and lightly used, which helps explain the low failure rate of 0.29 per vehicle on test. If you're considering buying one, focus your inspection on the advisory items (averaging 1.6 per car) rather than expecting major faults—these typically point to wear items like brakes or wipers rather than structural problems.
What to check before buying a 2021 Peugeot 208 Allure Puretech S/s
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.
