Question 1

Is the Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is economical, but its timing belt runs in oil and can wear early, shedding debris that can block the oil pickup. Check that the belt was inspected or changed on schedule, that the specified oil was used, and that the engine does not burn oil.

Question 2

What should I check on a used Peugeot 208 GTi?

Accepted Answer

The first-generation GTi's 1.6 THP turbo needs regular oil changes, so listen for a timing-chain rattle on a cold start. It came only with a six-speed manual: check the clutch and look for signs of track use or modifications.

Question 3

How much road tax does a petrol Peugeot 208 pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × 0.6 × a band factor of 0.5 up to 90 g/km, rising by 0.1 for each further 10 g. A petrol car at 100 g/km pays €36 a year, and a GTi far more than an everyday PureTech.

Question 4

Is a petrol or a diesel Peugeot 208 better in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

For short trips and commuting, petrol: a PureTech costs less to buy and to tax, as a diesel pays half as much road tax again at the same CO₂. A BlueHDi pays off only over long, regular drives.
