2013 Peugeot 208 1.0L Petrol · MX63 CFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 72,213 miles, the failure just one day prior highlights a significant lapse in mechanical oversight. The tester identified multiple failures including a major exhaust leak, an insecure exhaust system, and significantly worn inner brake discs. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At approximately 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,213 miles represents a low average of roughly 5,555 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with vehicles sitting for extended periods, which can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and fluids. Between October 2024 and October 2025, the car covered only 3,682 miles, indicating very low use during that period. However, the low mileage does not explain the recurring issues with the braking system and exhaust components, which have appeared as concerns across several years of testing. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The record shows a persistent pattern of front brake issues, moving from thin pads and pitted discs in 2024 to significantly worn discs and fluctuating brakes by late 2025. You should check for uneven wear on the rotors and ensure calipers are not seizing. Additionally, the exhaust system has a documented history of corroded hangers and leaks dating back to 2022. The major leak noted in 2025 suggests the structural integrity of the pipework may be compromised. Furthermore, the nearside rear tyre was flagged as worn on the edge in 2025, which may indicate an alignment issue that should be verified to avoid premature tyre wear.
