2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · FV63 AEP

The 2013 Peugeot 208 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 confirming a pass at 100,357 miles. However, the same date includes a failed test with no defects recorded, indicating potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. Prior MOTs from 2025 and 2024 also passed without defects, suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of critical issues in the record implies the vehicle has been well-kept, though the repeated failures on identical dates raise questions about testing accuracy or unresolved minor faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,357 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 7,720 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with the 2024-01-19 test at 86,778 miles followed by a 2025-01-17 failure at 95,043 miles, a 8,265-mile increase. Subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 maintained similar intervals, with no significant gaps suggesting neglect. The clean defect history, despite the failed tests, indicates the owner likely addressed issues promptly, though the lack of detailed failure reasons limits definitive conclusions. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over 13 years. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has seen heavy use. The exhaust system, including emissions components, should be checked for leaks or damage, as these can affect MOT results. While the MOT record shows no critical defects, the repeated failures at the same date suggest potential underlying issues requiring closer examination by a qualified mechanic.
