2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LC63 NWF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards neglect in the most recent service. The latest MOT conducted in December 2025 at 81,597 miles flagged a multitude of advisories that were not present in the previous clean test. While the car passed, the accumulation of defects related to tyre degradation, brake disc corrosion, and an exhaust leak indicates that the current owner is only addressing faults once they reach an MOT-failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, for example, 6,076 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. However, the low annual mileage likely explains the age-related wear seen in the record. The cracking and perishing of multiple tyres noted in the 2025 test are classic symptoms of a vehicle that sits for long periods, causing the rubber to lose elasticity and dry out over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close-range inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The record shows a recurring issue of pitting and scoring on front brake discs dating back to 2024, which persisted and expanded to include rear discs by 2025. The minor exhaust leak flagged in December 2025 should be checked for manifold cracks or catalytic converter degradation, as the vehicle has a history of lambda sensor failures and emission-related drops in previous years. Additionally, the sidewall cracking across three tyres suggests a full set of replacements is required immediately to ensure structural integrity of the rubber.
