2013 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · YA13 XTG

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, characterized by consecutive failures immediately preceding successful tests. In the most recent test on 5 August 2025, the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, following a failure on 4 August 2025. This same pattern occurred in July 2024, where the car failed on 30 July before passing on 31 July. While the most recent result is clean, the recurring need for immediate remedial work to pass the annual inspection suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 88,923 miles for a 2013 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,840 miles. This represents relatively low mileage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The MOT records provided do not list specific mileage increments for each individual test date, making it impossible to verify the exact rate of accumulation between 2023 and 2025. The lack of recorded mileage in the historical entries prevents a precise assessment of whether the vehicle has been driven consistently or has experienced long periods of inactivity. The absence of specific defect descriptions in the provided records limits a detailed technical analysis of the failures. However, the pattern of failing one day and passing the next suggests the issues were likely related to minor consumable items or simple adjustments rather than major structural corrosion or significant mechanical failures. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and examine the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of degradation. Given the low annual mileage, checking for rubber perishing on hoses and tyres is also advisable. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
