2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LK63 TYW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in November 2025 at 108,159 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of significant reactive repairs. While the car suffered through multiple failures in early 2024 and early 2025, the lack of defects in the most recent test indicates that the previous owner has addressed the critical mechanical and electrical issues that previously prevented the vehicle from meeting minimum road safety standards. At 108,159 miles, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a 13-year-old car. The record shows a burst of activity between February 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered 5,217 miles in just twelve months. This consistent mileage accumulation suggests the car has not been stationary for long periods, though the high mileage places natural demand on wear-and-tear components as evidenced by the historical failures of the suspension and exhaust system. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension components, as the control arm bushes were flagged as being excessively worn in February 2024 and showed signs of wear in the year prior. Although these appear to have been rectified since, a physical check is required to ensure no new play has developed in the steering geometry. The record also notes accident damage to the nearside rear sill and door from early 2025. A thorough visual inspection of this area should confirm the structural integrity remains sound and that no hidden corrosion is developing where the bodywork was repaired. The 2024 failure regarding an exhaust leak and inoperative engine management light suggests the engine management and exhaust system were previously neglected. The buyer should monitor for any recurring warning lights or rough idling that might indicate the repairs to the emissions system or sensors were not permanent. Given the history of a rough nearside rear wheel bearing in February 2024, a test drive to check for any humming or vibration at speed is essential to confirm the bearing was replaced and is functioning correctly.
