2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · YA13 XDK

The vehicle currently fails the MOT on 2025-08-05, failing both the offside stop lamp and exhaust emissions checks, indicating a critical structural and mechanical risk that has not been resolved since the 2023 test. The most recent failure occurred on 2024-07-23, confirming that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle within the last two years, suggesting a gap in maintenance that has likely allowed for wear and tear on critical components. The 2025 failure represents a severe downgrade from the 2023 pass, signaling a worsening trend where the vehicle has failed multiple times without any corrective action taken. The mileage pattern indicates rapid accumulation of wear and tear over the past six months, which is characteristic of a vehicle that has been driven or stood for extended periods. The 93,850-mile failure on 2024-07-23 is the latest record, followed by a 93,823-mile failure on 2024-05-06, and a 97,141-mile failure on 2025-08-05. This sequence demonstrates that the vehicle has not been maintained at a consistent interval, with the most recent inspection occurring only six months ago, which is insufficient for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests is significant, and the 2025 test failure confirms that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle within the last two years. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to address the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the MOT records. The most immediate concern is the exhaust carbon monoxide emissions after the 2nd fast idle exceeding manufacturer limits, which requires immediate replacement of the exhaust components and monitoring of the engine exhaust. The 2024 failure on 2024-07-23 specifically flagged rear underbody corrosion, which must be assessed for the extent of the rust and potential structural integrity issues. The 2025 failure on 2025-08-05 also highlights offside stop lamp inoperativity, which may be caused by a binding condition in the brake discs or related suspension issues. The vehicle has failed twice on tyre tread, suggesting basic upkeep has been skipped, and the 2025 failure on 2025-08-05 indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle within the last two years, suggesting a gap in maintenance that has allowed for wear and tear on critical components.
