2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · AV13 AEM

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded in the most recent December 2025 MOT at 102,182 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed passes, though a December 2022 test failed without recorded defects. This suggests the car has remained roadworthy, but the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny for potential overlooked issues. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the MOT history. The mileage of 102,182 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,860 miles, consistent with typical ownership patterns for a 13-year-old vehicle. MOT tests were conducted annually, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2022 failure occurred just five days before a subsequent pass, raising questions about its validity or the nature of the issue. The absence of defects in all other tests indicates routine compliance with safety standards. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which may not trigger MOT failures until advanced. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop gradually. Corrosion, particularly in body panels or under the chassis, warrants attention given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, these areas are critical for long-term reliability.
