2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · AE13 OKW

The vehicle currently holds no valid MOT pass, having failed the most recent test on 27 March 2025 at 94,716 miles with no defects formally recorded, a pattern repeated across two earlier failures in March 2023 and March 2024. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable or improving; the record shows three failed tests against two passes, yet every entry lists no defects, which points to administrative or presentation anomalies in the DVSA data rather than confirmed mechanical condition. A buyer must treat the current roadworthiness as unverified until a fresh test is secured. The odometer climbed from 75,823 miles at the March 2023 failure to 86,455 miles by the March 2024 failure, then to 86,848 miles ten days later on the pass, and reached 94,716 miles by March 2025. That equates to roughly 7,300 miles per year against the car's 2013 build, a typical accumulation for a 13-year-old hatchback. The sparse record shows no advisories across any test, so no wear trends on tyres, brakes, or suspension appear in the data; the clean sheets give no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. Given the repeated failures with blank defect fields, the buyer should commission an independent inspection before purchase. The tester may have raised issues omitted from the supplied extract, so verify the VOSA failure reasons directly. Prior owners presented the car for test three times without recorded faults yet still failed, suggesting either documentation gaps or unresolved presentation faults such as lighting, emissions, or identification mismatches rather than obvious mechanical decay. In person, check structural integrity for corrosion at sills and subframes, examine brake discs and calipers for binding, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue despite the absent advisories. Confirm the 94,716-mile clock against service stamps to rule out stood-down periods that accelerate rubber perishing. The record alone offers no grounds to condemn the Peugeot, but it provides no assurance of roadworthiness either.
