2023 Peugeot 408 GT Puretech S/s Auto

CarHunch is tracking 762 2023 Peugeot 408 GT Puretech S/s Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Peugeot 408 is failing its MOT at an alarming rate—just 2.8% of vehicles pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%—which is a major red flag for any potential buyer. The dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 0.1%, but the near-universal failure pattern suggests systemic issues with this model at this age.

With an average mileage of 18,754 miles, these cars are barely run-in, yet they're still racking up failures at an extraordinary rate, pointing to manufacturing or design problems rather than wear and tear. Before buying one, get a thorough pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic who's familiar with this generation of 408, and negotiate hard on price to account for whatever's causing these widespread MOT troubles.

What to check before buying a 2023 Peugeot 408 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.
