2013 PEUGEOT 2081.2L Petrol

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 70,108 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from October 2022 through to May 2025 resulting in a pass. A failed test on 29 May 2025 at 70,104 miles shows no recorded defects, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass at 70,108 miles the same day. The recorded mileage of 70,108 against a 2013 build date equates to roughly 5,393 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. The records show steady, light use: 51,553 miles in October 2022, 55,397 by October 2023, 57,513 in June 2024, then a jump to 70,104 by May 2025. That final year added around 12,600 miles, more than double the prior annual average, yet no advisories or wear-related defects appeared. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. Given the absence of any flagged advisories across five years of testing, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of standard wear components. Low annual mileage combined with the 2024 to 2025 usage increase means suspension bushes, brake discs, and calipers may have seen uneven loading after a period of lighter running. Tyres and wiper blades should be checked for perishing from age rather than tread wear, given the car's 13-year lifespan. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or coil spring fractures appear in the DVSA data, so serious mechanical risk is not indicated by the record. The repeated clean tests suggest previous owners maintained the vehicle to a basic pass standard. A pre-purchase check of underside structural integrity and brake binding remains sensible on any 2013 hatchback regardless of a clear MOT trail.
