2013 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · DS13 ABV

The 2013 Peugeot 208 presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 50,830 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in February 2025, February 2024, and February 2023 also passed cleanly. The February 2025 entry shows a failed test on the same date and mileage as a pass, with no defects listed; this administrative anomaly suggests a system or clerical duplication rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should confirm the V5C and DVSA portal to rule out a withdrawn or re-entered certificate. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The car covered 29,142 miles by February 2023, 36,660 by February 2024, 45,750 by February 2025, and 50,830 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,900 miles per year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation across the recorded period. Low annual mileage of this order often means longer idle periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to crack through age, and underbody corrosion to develop unseen. Given the absence of any advisories or recorded defects across five years of testing, the MOT history alone shows no recurring suspension, brake, or structural concerns. A clean record does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. We recommend checking brake disc condition and caliper freedom after standing, examining subframe and sills for corrosion, and verifying tyre sidewall age even where tread remains legal. The previous owner appears to have maintained statutory testing without deferred entries, though the sparse defect data limits insight into consumable replacement discipline.
