Our Verdict
This 2013 Peugeot 208 Active HDI is a reasonable buy for a budget diesel hatchback, but the high mileage and a single past MOT failure warrant caution. Inspect it thoroughly and use the mileage to negotiate on price before committing.
Given the 144,867 miles on this AJ13ADX example, prioritise a full service history to confirm timing belt, water pump, and diesel filter changes have been done at the correct intervals for a 1.4 HDI. The lack of listed defects across recent MOTs is reassuring, but high mileage diesels need proof of maintenance more than low-mileage ones. Use the above-average mileage as leverage when negotiating, as comparable 2013 208 diesels with lower miles will command a premium.
As a 1.4-litre diesel, the 208 Active HDI typically offers strong fuel economy, though exact figures are not in the provided data; road tax for an older small diesel is usually modest. Insurance groups for this variant are generally low, keeping annual premiums affordable for most drivers. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance for a car of this mileage are around £900-£1,200, with servicing and wear items being the main variables.
The only MOT failure in the history occurred on 2023-11-02 at 114,039 miles, with no defects recorded against it, so check with the seller or test centre what caused the fail and confirm it was a minor, resolved issue. With 144,867 miles on the clock, physically inspect the clutch, suspension bushes, and brake components, as these wear with use and are not always captured in a pass-with-no-defects MOT. Also verify the condition of the diesel particulate filter and EGR system, common wear points on higher-mileage 2013 Peugeot diesels, even though no related failures appear in the data.
The vehicle is a June 2013 registered black Peugeot 208 Active HDI with a 1.4-litre diesel engine, currently showing 144,867 miles from its most recent December 2025 MOT. Its MOT history shows four passes and one failure in November 2023, with the failure recorded at 114,039 miles but no specific defects listed. With no aggregate model reliability data available, the assessment rests on its individual history, which shows consistent annual use and no recorded defects in the last two tests.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Peugeot 208 Active HDI, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's recorded history.
