2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LK63 TYV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑09 at 71,260 miles, but the test recorded several advisories: offside front tyre showing slight cracking, nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit, headlamp lens contamination on both sides, and worn front suspension arm pins/bushes. The maintenance trend is stable to slightly worsening; earlier tests up to 2022 were clean, yet the last two inspections repeatedly flag tyre and suspension wear, indicating that basic upkeep has been inconsistent. Mileage accumulation has been low overall—approximately 5,482 miles per year—suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity. The pattern shows modest increases up to 2022, a clean interval in 2020, then a jump from 49,751 miles in August 2024 to 71,260 miles in September 2025, an extra 21,509 miles in roughly ten months. This sudden rise points to either a change in ownership or a period of heavier use after a long gap. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for tread depth and cracking, check the suspension arm bushes for excessive wear, and examine the brake discs and pads for scoring or thinning, given the 2016 record of worn discs and pads. The headlamp lenses require cleaning or replacement due to product buildup, and the exhaust brackets should be examined for corrosion or breakage, as noted in 2021. The washer fluid system also needs verification; the 2025 test flagged insufficient liquid, indicating a possible leak or empty reservoir. Overall, the car’s low mileage supports the notion of gentle usage, yet the recurring advisories highlight areas where wear has not been fully addressed. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on tyres, suspension, brakes, lighting, and exhaust will reveal whether these issues have been remedied or remain latent concerns.
