2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · FP63 WFS

The vehicle passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 50,411 miles, though the tester identified a defective central front exhaust mounting and a damaged windscreen. This follows a failure in December 2025 at 50,343 miles, where the car failed just 700 miles prior due to the same exhaust mounting issue and high carbon monoxide emissions. While the exhaust fault appears to be rectified, the recurring nature of mounting failures suggests the exhaust system may be experiencing accelerated fatigue or requires consistent attention to prevent future de-regulation. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 50,411 miles represents a low usage pattern, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low-mileage profile often leads to degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and seals rather than mechanical wear. The record shows a consistent history of tyre maintenance; in 2024 at 48,542 miles, the offside front tyre was flagged for being near the legal limit and the nearside rear had a deep cut reaching the cords. By the 2023 test at 46,344 miles, the nearside rear was noted at 3mm, indicating that the owner generally replaces tyres before they reach critical failure. The structural integrity of the vehicle appears stable based on the data, as no significant corrosion or structural failures have been reported. However, the carbon monoxide failure in late 2025 warrants a check of the fuel management system and catalytic converter to ensure the engine remains burning efficiently. A buyer should also verify the repair to the exhaust mounting to ensure it is secure and monitor the damaged windscreen for spreading cracks that could compromise the safety of the glass.
