Our Verdict
This 2013 Peugeot 208 diesel is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but the recurring rear coil spring corrosion should be addressed before purchase. Budget for replacement springs and a registration plate lamp repair to avoid near-future advisories becoming failures.
When viewing AJ13ADZ, ask for proof that the rear coil springs have been replaced or plan to do so soon, as corrosion was flagged on both rear springs at the last two MOTs (December 2024 and December 2025). The near-side rear registration plate lamp was inoperative at the December 2025 test, so confirm it has been fixed or negotiate a small deduction for the repair. Service history should be checked for regular oil changes given the 1.4 litre diesel engine and 94,009 miles covered.
As a 1398cc diesel, this Peugeot 208 should return strong fuel economy, typically 60-70 mpg in mixed driving, keeping fuel costs modest for the annual mileage. Road tax for an older small diesel is usually in a lower band, and insurance groups for the 2013 208 diesel are generally low, helping keep fixed costs down. Routine maintenance such as brakes, tyres, and the noted spring replacements should be budgeted alongside, with estimated annual running costs in the region of £900-£1,100 including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Inspect the rear coil springs closely as both were advised as corroded at the 2024 and 2025 MOTs; surface rust may be acceptable but cracking or significant wastage means replacement is needed. Check the near-side rear registration plate lamp operates correctly, as it was recorded inoperative at the latest December 2025 test. Given the mileage of 94,009, examine the clutch, turbo, and general underside condition for a 13-year-old diesel used around 6,000 miles per year.
The vehicle has a clean MOT pass record across the last five tests from 2021 to 2025, with no failures recorded. Mileage has risen steadily from 70,298 in December 2021 to 94,009 in December 2025, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year which is in line with typical use for an 11-year-old car. The only concerns are minor advisories: rear coil spring corrosion noted in 2024 and 2025, and an inoperative near-side rear registration plate lamp in the latest test. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment is based solely on this vehicle's history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Peugeot 208, so this assessment relies entirely on the individual history of AJ13ADZ.
