The Peugeot 208 Allure Ev passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 5.6 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 963 individual Peugeot 208 Allure Ev tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 82.3% first-time pass rate means roughly 18 in every 100 Peugeot 208 Allure Evs presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Peugeot 208 Allure Ev tested had covered 26,466 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Peugeot 208 Allure Ev sits 5.6 points above the national average, ranked 1,367 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Peugeot 208 Allure Ev rather than the model in general?
