2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · WA13 XEU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness status of PASSED, but the maintenance trend is clearly unstable and deteriorating. The most recent test recorded on 2025-11-04 was conducted at 93,188 miles, which is the same mileage level as the most recent MOT record dated 2024-10-25, suggesting a lack of consistent upkeep and a significant accumulation of wear over the last two years. This rapid mileage increase correlates with the repeated failures, including multiple instances where the front oil leak was flagged as excessive, indicating that the engine oil system is not being maintained at a standard level despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap in the vehicle's history, particularly regarding the front and rear tyres. The tester flagged front and rear tyres as worn close to legal limits or worn on edges in the 2024-10-25 test, yet the vehicle only passed the MOT on 2024-03-09 at 77,184 miles. This discrepancy between the 2024-10-25 test and the 2024-03-09 MOT record indicates that the tyre wear has not been corrected or addressed, and that the vehicle has not undergone a full tyre replacement or rotation since the 2024-03-09 test. This pattern suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, leading to accelerated tread wear and a higher risk of future punctures. Given the recurring faults and the structural integrity concerns highlighted in the MOT, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, structural corrosion, and exhaust emissions. The 2024-10-25 test flagged a pitted or scored brake disc, which may indicate that the brake system requires immediate attention to prevent further failure. Additionally, the 2024-10-25 test revealed a major leak in the central exhaust system, a critical component that must be inspected for leaks and potential carbon monoxide emissions. The 2025-11-04 test flagged a front oil leak, which is a significant concern for the engine's longevity. A thorough physical inspection is required to assess the condition of these components and determine if the vehicle is ready for a new MOT or if further maintenance is necessary before the 2026-06-17 test date.
