Used Peugeot 208 for Sale

The Peugeot 208 is a stylish and fun-to-drive supermini, offered on the used market as an efficient petrol, a self-charging hybrid, or the fully electric E-208. Browse checked, prepared used 208 models with Vertu, backed by our 14-day money-back promise and flexible finance.

Is the Used Peugeot 208 a Good Buy?

Yes, and the choice of powertrains is central to its appeal. The 2026 208 is offered with a Turbo 100 petrol returning up to 55.4mpg, a self-charging Hybrid in 110hp and 145hp forms returning up to 65.9mpg, and the fully electric E-208 with up to around 250 miles of range.

The hybrid is a particular highlight, using its electric motor for more than half of city driving time with no need to plug in, cutting fuel use by up to 15% over an equivalent petrol. The petrol suits low-cost everyday driving, while the E-208 offers zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving for those who can charge.

Every used 208 sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation and any remaining warranty, a used 208 is a low-risk supermini buy.

Who Is the Used Peugeot 208 Best For?

The 208's range suits several kinds of driver. The table below pairs four of them with the version that fits best.

What Is It Like to Own a Peugeot 208?

The 208 is designed to feel special from behind the wheel. The i-Cockpit layout, with its small steering wheel and high-set instruments, gives it a distinctive, go-kart-like driving position, and higher trims add a 3D digital instrument display that projects key information toward the driver.

Inside, even mid-range cars come well equipped, with a touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while higher trims add a 10-inch digital cluster, front and rear parking aids, hands-free start and a rear camera. The self-charging hybrid needs no plugging in, and the electric E-208 charges from a home wallbox or public rapid charger.

Practicality is solid for the class, with a 352-litre boot on petrol and hybrid models, five seats and a tight turning circle for easy town driving. Once a 208 reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, including a battery-system check on electric models, and servicing it through Vertu's colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.

Peugeot 208 Trims and Specifications

The current 208 range spans Style, Allure, ENVY, GT and GT Premium. The table below sets out how equipment builds across the core grades.

These details reflect the 2026 specification. The 208 has been sold across more than one generation, so used examples from earlier years carry different trim names and equipment, including older Active, Allure and GT Line versions, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.

*Equipment shown reflects the 2026 specification and is typical rather than guaranteed on any specific car. Availability varies by model year, trim, powertrain and options fitted when new.

Peugeot 208 Engines and Performance

The 2026 used 208 offers petrol, self-charging hybrid and fully electric power. The table below sets out the petrol and hybrid engines; the electric E-208 is covered separately below.

Earlier used 208 models across the previous generation were offered with a wider range of petrol and diesel engines, so the used choice is broader than the 2026 line-up shown here.

*Figures are drawn from Peugeot's 2026 UK data. The hybrid is a self-charging model and cannot be plugged in. E-208 range varies by battery and model year; confirm the figure for a specific car. Actual economy, range and performance vary with weather, driving style, load and conditions, and used examples from other model years will differ.
