2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · BU13 TXF

The vehicle appears to be in a stable but maintenance-heavy state, with the most recent test on 24 July 2026 at 78,015 miles showing a pass despite minor advisories. The record indicates a recurring pattern of neglected consumables, specifically tyres and braking components. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the presence of worn front brake discs and a perishing offside rear tyre suggests that maintenance is often reactive rather than proactive. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in mileage. Between the March 2024 test at 75,248 miles and the March 2025 test at 76,556 miles, the car covered roughly 1,300 miles, indicating a period of lower usage before the mileage increased more steadily toward the 78,015 miles recorded in July 2026. A prospective buyer should focus on the exhaust system and braking hardware. The March 2025 failure revealed a major exhaust gas leak at the flexi-pipe and significant corrosion, which followed a minor leak and defective mounting noted in March 2024. Although the vehicle passed in 2025 and 2026, the repeated mentions of worn or pitted front brake discs suggest the braking system is nearing the end of its service life. The frequent advisories regarding tyre cracking and edge wear also imply that wheel alignment or suspension bush condition should be checked to prevent premature tyre degradation. Finally, the history of lighting failures and minor electrical issues, such as the nearside headlamp and rear position lamp failures in March 2025, suggests a need to inspect the electrical connections and bulb housings. While no major structural integrity issues were flagged, the pattern of low oil levels and tyre neglect suggests the vehicle has been driven with minimal attention to basic fluid and consumable upkeep.
