Peugeot 208 Signature Puretech S/s (2019)
2019 Peugeot 208 Signature Puretech S/s
CarHunch analysed 166 real MOT records for the 2019 Peugeot 208 Signature Puretech S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2019 Peugeot 208 lands 5 percentage points below the UK average with a 75% first-time pass rate, which is a mild concern for reliability—though notably, zero vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety isn't the issue. The petrol-hybrid "Other" fuel variants do exceptionally well at 96.7% pass rate, suggesting the powertrain itself is sound.
With a median mileage of 34,625 miles for a five-year-old car, these examples are running slightly below average wear, yet still failing their MOT one in four times. The good news: when they do fail, it's rarely serious—just 0.08 failures per vehicle on average and zero advisories—meaning most issues are fixable niggles rather than deep problems. Before buying, ask the seller for full MOT history going back three years to spot any pattern of repeated failures in the same area.
What to check before buying a 2019 Peugeot 208 Signature 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.
