2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · CV13 AAE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 July 2025 at 30,426 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety and emissions standards. Following a failure in July 2023, subsequent annual tests have returned clean results, suggesting that any previous issues were successfully rectified and the vehicle has remained in good mechanical order since. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,340 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 18,745 miles and July 2025 at 30,426 miles, the car covered 11,681 miles over three years. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on high-stress components like the engine and gearbox. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which is not always captured by the MOT testing process alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stationary use rather than mileage. Check for cracking in the tyres and suspension bushes, as rubber can become brittle over time regardless of distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake oxidation. While the MOT history is clean, a manual check of the chassis for early-stage corrosion is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked structural neglect.
