2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · SW63 GYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend regarding structural integrity. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 47,227 miles passed, it followed a significant MOT failure just one month prior. The transition from a clean record in late 2024 to multiple structural and mechanical failures in late 2025 indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage where accelerated wear and corrosion require immediate attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 5,325 miles, which explains the clean test results during that period. However, low mileage often correlates with the structural issues observed in the November 2025 test, as long periods of standing or short-trip use can lead to the pitting noted on the discs and the surface rust seen on the integral body structure. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and mounting points. The November 2025 failure identified significant corrosion on the integral body structure and the rear subframe. Although the December 2025 pass noted the corrosion was not yet excessive, the presence of structural rust in the previous test is a high-risk indicator. The buyer should also verify that the front suspension arm bushes and brake discs were actually replaced, as these were flagged as worn and fluctuating during the same failure period.
