2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · LS63 YMM

The most recent MOT test on 30 August 2025 shows a pass, but the vehicle displays a worsening trend regarding structural and electrical components. While the 2022 test recorded no defects, the subsequent years have introduced increasing numbers of advisories. The 2025 record specifically flags a corroded and broken rear exhaust mount alongside a non-functional nearside front daytime running light. This follows a 2024 test that identified multiple issues, including pitted front brake discs and a perishing offside rear tyre. The vehicle has covered 29,721 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 2,286 miles per year. This represents very low annual usage. While low mileage can indicate minimal mechanical wear, the MOT history suggests the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. This is evidenced by the repeated advisories for tyres cracking or perishing in both 2023 and 2024, a common symptom of rubber degradation due to age and lack of movement rather than heavy driving. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system and mounting points to assess the extent of the corrosion noted in August 2025. The history of pitted and scored front brake discs suggests the braking components have been subject to environmental degradation, likely due to the low mileage and infrequent use. It is also necessary to inspect all tyres for sidewall cracking and to verify the condition of the underbody covers and bonnet stay mentioned in the 2023 and 2024 records. The recurring issues with lighting, such as the registration plate lamp failure in 2023 and the nearside daytime light in 2025, indicate intermittent electrical maintenance. Given the low mileage and the specific advisories regarding perishing rubber and corroding metal, the vehicle's condition appears more influenced by age-related degradation than by mechanical wear from high-frequency road use. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
