PEUGEOT 2082013 · 1.4L DIESEL

The 2013 Peugeot 208 passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 94,009 miles, leaving it roadworthy with a stable but slightly worsening maintenance trend. The tester raised three advisories: an inoperative near side registration plate lamp and corrosion on both rear coil springs. These faults follow a pattern first seen at the 4 December 2024 test, where both rear coil springs were already flagged as corroded at 88,671 miles, showing the issue is progressing rather than resolving. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,231 per year across the record, with the car covering 5,338 miles between December 2024 and December 2025 and similar yearly increments back to 2021. The early history is clean. The December 2021, 2022, and 2023 tests at 70,298, 77,235, and 84,014 miles recorded no defects, so the corrosion and lamp fault emerged only in the last two years as the vehicle passed 13 years old. A buyer should physically inspect both rear coil springs for pitting or fracture risk, since the December 2024 and December 2025 advisories confirm ongoing corrosion that will eventually demand replacement. The near side registration plate lamp must be checked and repaired, as multiple-lamp failure reduces rear visibility. No brake, suspension bush, or structural integrity defects appear in the record, which suggests the chassis and running gear have been maintained to a reasonable standard for the mileage.
