2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · LM08 LOG

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite minor mechanical setbacks. The most recent test in August 2025 at 46,946 miles resulted in a pass, though it identified an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This follows a clean record in 2024 and early 2023, suggesting that the primary mechanical components have remained sound over the last several years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent but slow usage, with only 1,849 miles covered between the August 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,065 miles in the year leading up to that. While this low mileage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the exhaust system, as the records show a progression from a minor leak in 2022 to a total failure in September 2023 for an insecure exhaust. Although this was rectified, the physical mounting should be checked to ensure hangers are not excessively corroded or loose. The uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2025 also indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush that requires a physical inspection to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Given the low usage, a thorough check of brake disc pitting and seized calipers is also essential to ensure the vehicle has not sat stationary for too long.
