2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · FM62 RGX

The Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 6 October 2025 at 83,031 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemish is a pair of administrative fails logged immediately before the two most recent passes, both at 82,986 and 76,065 miles respectively, where the tester recorded no defects. This pattern suggests paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying vehicle condition problems. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2013 vehicle. The record shows 70,385 miles at the 21 September 2023 test, rising to 76,085 by 24 September 2024 and 83,031 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 6,500 miles per year, a steady low-to-moderate rate that implies gentle commuting rather than high-stress motorway punishment. No sudden jumps or unexplained gaps appear between tests, and the sparse three-year trail contains no consumable wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes flagged for attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished defect record. The two fail entries dated 1 October 2025 and 23 September 2024 with zero recorded defects warrant direct questioning of the selling garage to confirm they were procedural rather than concealed. Given the car is now thirteen years old, structural corrosion around sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points remains a latent risk that MOT advisories would normally surface but have not here. Focus the viewing on underbody integrity, front coil springs, and rear suspension bushes for age-related fatigue. Verify the braking system operates without binding calipers and check exhaust emissions against expected norms for the 1.2 petrol unit. The clean record is reassuring, but low annual mileage can mask perished rubber components and seized linkages that a static test will expose.
