2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · WL13 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test on July 15 2025 at 52,736 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets minimum standards. This follows a three-year streak of clean results since 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained adequately without recurring major failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between August 2018 and August 2019, where the car covered only 6,797 miles. Since then, the usage has remained consistent, moving only several hundred miles annually. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the infrequent use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber parts, seals, and fluid integrity which is not fully captured by the MOT's visual inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the rubber components and suspension bushings, as low mileage often masks dry rot or cracking. While the 2022 failure noted minor issues like an insecure battery and washer failure, the 2019 advisory for a worn offside front tyre suggests basic consumable maintenance was occasionally overlooked. Given the lack of reported structural corrosion or brake binding issues in the record, the primary concern remains checking for seized brake calipers or ensuring the vehicle has not suffered from internal corrosion during its long periods of standing.
