2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LL13 PVD

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT on June 3, 2026. The maintenance trend is worsening, as recurring mechanical issues have escalated from minor advisories to failures. While the car passed in April 2025, the most recent test reveals a critical deterioration of the offside rear brake now binding excessively and a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot. The repeated failure of the exhaust lambda reading indicates a persistent engine management issue or sensor fault that has remained unaddressed for multiple years. At 92,716 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,132 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 5,200 miles driven between April 2025 and June 2026. However, the low mileage does not translate to high mechanical health, as evidenced by the requirement to add 3 litres of oil in 2023 and another 2.5 litres in 2025, suggesting potential oil consumption or engine-related neglect despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring braking and suspension faults. The offside rear brake has been flagged for binding since 2025 and has now progressed to failure, indicating a seized caliper or worn slider pins. The buyer should verify that the offside front coil spring, which was fractured in 2025, has been replaced and that the opposite side shows signs of fatigue. The deteriorated CV boot requires immediate replacement to prevent premature failure of the drive shaft. Additionally, the persistent lambda failure necessitates a diagnostic check to determine if the issue is a faulty sensor or a deeper problem with the catalytic converter or fuel mixture.
