2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · FJ13 SCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in February 2026 at 91,913 miles resulted in a pass despite defects involving a corroded rear suspension mounting area and a failed rear position lamp. While the car passed its recent inspection, the failure in February 2025 due to multiple structural tyre defects suggests the previous owner only addressed critical safety items once they triggered a test failure. At 91,913 miles over 13 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage for its age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,637 miles leading to the recent MOT. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress, though the age of the vehicle increases degradation of rubber components and fluid integrity. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension mounting points mentioned in the 2026 record. Although the tester deemed the corrosion not excessive at this stage, structural rust on load-bearing areas progresses rapidly if left untreated. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres, as the records from 2024 and 2025 show a recurring history of uneven wear, under-inflation, and structural tears, which often indicate alignment issues or poor neglect of basic consumables.
