Our Verdict
Proceed with caution as this 2013 Peugeo
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise a thorough check of the braking system. The 2023 and 2025 MOT records detail significant wear on discs and pads, as well as an insecure brake calliper, suggesting that the braking components have been subject to heavy use or neglect. Verify if the brake discs and pads have been replaced recently with high-quality parts.
Furthermore, examine the exhaust system and battery mounting. The 2023 test noted a defective exhaust mounting and an insecure battery, both of which are common points of failure for this model. Ensure that any repairs documented in the service history are verified by invoices to confirm that the work was completed to a professional standard.
As a 1.4-litre diesel, this model is designed for fuel efficiency, which may help offset the costs of frequent repairs. However, potential buyers should budget for higher-than-average maintenance costs given the recurring failure points identified in the MOT history, particularly regarding tyres and brake consumables.
Insurance and road tax for a 2013 diesel supermini are generally moderate, though costs will depend on your personal driving history. You should estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,200–£1,500, factoring in fuel, insurance, and the likely need for ongoing mechanical repairs.
Pay close attention to the tyres, as the 2024 and 2025 MOTs noted perishing, cracking, and uneven wear. Inspect the sidewalls for any signs of damage or ageing, and ensure the tread depth is well above the legal limit across all four tyres.
Check the headlamp aim and all exterior lighting, as the 2025 MOT failure included issues with headlamp alignment and a faulty registration plate lamp. Additionally, investigate the engine bay for any signs of the oil leak noted in the 2024 MOT record; while described as 'not excessive' at the time, it is important to determine if this has been addressed or if it has worsened.
This blue 1.4-litre diesel Peugeot 208 has covered 113,390 miles since its November 2013 registration. The MOT history reveals multiple test failures over the last three years, specifically highlighting ongoing concerns with braking components, tyre condition, and lighting. While it has passed its most recent test, the history suggests that the vehicle requires frequent mechanical intervention to remain roadworthy.
The Peugeot 208 is a common sight on UK roads, but aggregate data shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, with exhaust and braking systems being frequent areas of concern for higher-mileage examples.
