How are you getting quotes? Do you use a comparison site? It makes sense for it to be high as you would only just have passed your test but I used to drive a 1.8l bravo when I was 19 fully comp and it cost 1200. Is the vehicle being parked on the road or in a garage. What do you do as a job? These are all things that have an affect.

Did you use a comparison site for the quote?
Have you tried a black box insurance? If you don't drive at night, drive to the proper standard and don't exceed the mileage, it can work out a cheap way to build up your no claims.
I wouldn't put your mum as main driver unless she's going to drive the car more than you. It's called fronting and will render your insurance invalid.

Peugeot 206 + young male driver who is yet to pass there test = insurance company see a very high risk of a total loss claim sooner or later going on what the insurance industry know about 206's with a young person behind the wheel
You have basically picked the wrong car for cheap insurance, you need to think outside the box & pick something a young male wouldn't normally own / drive.
I would hate to think how many total loss & own fault claims the insurance industry has paid out on 206's piloted by younger drivers, I bet the total figure is frightening

Thats quite expensive for a 21 year old. I'm paying £3400 but that's because i'm 18 and the main driver on my policy. Where you live also plays a big factor in how much your insurance is.
It's also good to remember that you will get expensive quotes as you've just passed. Wait a couple of months and the quotes will drop. I was getting 7k-8k quotes when I first passed. Waited 4 months and the quotes dropped quite a lot.
If I think of anything else, i'll be sure to add it to my post.

I agree with this to a certain extent. You're 21 so you don't have to buy a car with a small engine. You could try looking at a Mondeo or something like that.

Thanks for your replies and I've considered black box but due to doing shift work it may mess me up and I don't always stick to the speed limit but don't exceed 10%+2 (police fresh hold according to AA advanced motering course)

Keep your licence clean, build up the no claims bonus & your insurance premium will soon start dropping
