2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · FM62 RTV

The 2013 Peugeot 208 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 May 2025 at 104,266 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing a clean sequence of passes from 2022 through 2025 and no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. The duplicate 30 May 2025 entry, showing a fail with no defects recorded alongside the same-day pass, reflects an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Annual mileage averages around 8,020 across the car's thirteen-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady, low accumulation: 97,192 miles in July 2022, 99,513 in July 2023, 101,956 in June 2024, and 104,266 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 to 2,700 miles per year between tests, with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps that would suggest neglected storage or hard use. The DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean, offering no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car despite the clear MOT trail. Peugeot 208 models of this era commonly develop corrosion on subframe mounts and rear axle brackets, and the tester logged no advisories only because limits were not breached at test time. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant hands-on checks given the vehicle's mileage. Verify the duplicate May 2025 test was a paperwork correction and confirm service history independently. The absent advisories imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT cleanliness at low annual miles does not certify drivetrain condition or hidden rust.
