This 2021 Peugeot 208 is a solid performer on the MOT bench, with an 89.1% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%. The dangerous defect rate sits at a reassuring 6.9%, well below the threshold that would raise red flags for buyers.

What to check before buying a 2021 Peugeot 208 GT 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.
