2015 PEUGEOT 208

The Peugeot 208 Active 2015 petrol sits in the competitive supermini class, competing with cars like the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. As a used buy, it offers a mix of style, efficiency and affordability—but with some notable compromises. Visually, the 208 is one of the more distinctive cars in its class. Its curvy bodywork and "lion claw" LED lighting give it a modern, slightly premium feel for a small hatchback . Inside, the Active trim adds useful features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, DAB radio, cruise control and alloy wheels, making it well-equipped for everyday driving . On the road, petrol versions—typically the 1.0 or 1.2-litre units—are economical and reasonably refined, with fuel economy figures often exceeding 60mpg in official tests . However, performance is modest, and the driving experience can feel underwhelming compared to rivals. Reviews often highlight a vague manual gearbox and an awkward driving position caused by the small steering wheel and high-set instruments . Comfort is a stronger point. The 208 rides well for a small car and is easy to manoeuvre in urban environments. Running costs are also low, with cheap parts and good efficiency making it appealing for first-time drivers or commuters . Reliability, however, is a key concern. The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine has known issues with its wet timing belt, which can lead to expensive failures if not properly maintained . Electrical niggles and infotainment glitches have also been reported. Overall, the 2015 Peugeot 208 Active petrol is a stylish, comfortable and economical small car, but it falls short of class leaders in driving quality and long-term reliability. It's a sensible choice if well-maintained—but not the strongest all-rounder in its segment. All vehicles are subject to a £200 non refundable deposit. Check our website for more stock.
