2013 Peugeot 208 1.4L Diesel · YT62 FKF

This 2013 Peugeot 208 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean MOT pass on 4 February 2026 at 121,722 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test is just over four months old, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness certification is current and highly relevant. Prior to this, the car passed on 17 January 2025 at 120,849 miles and on 5 February 2024 at 120,200 miles, both also clean passes. The only recorded advisories appeared in the February 2023 test at 119,529 miles, where both front tyres were flagged for wear close to the legal limit and edge wear. These were clearly addressed before the 2024 test, indicating the previous owner corrected the issue promptly rather than allowing it to recur. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered approximately 671 miles, which is unusually low and may reflect a period of light use or limited driving. From February 2024 to January 2025, mileage rose by 649 miles, and from January 2025 to February 2026, it increased by 873 miles. Annual mileage has been well below the typical 8,000 to 12,000-mile range, suggesting the vehicle has been used sparingly in recent years. The overall average of roughly 9,363 miles per year across its thirteen-year lifespan is typical for its age, but the last three years show a notably subdued pattern that may point to extended periods of standing. Despite the clean recent record, the edge wear noted on both front tyres in 2023 warrants attention. Uneven or edge-specific tyre wear on a front-wheel-drive supermini like the 208 commonly points to worn suspension bushes, deteriorated dampers, or misaligned tracking. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and check the condition of front suspension components, including lower arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and shock absorbers. Given the low recent mileage and potential for prolonged standing, brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion or binding, and the exhaust system checked for moisture-related corrosion. The underbody and sills should be inspected for structural rust, as thirteen-year-old vehicles in the UK climate remain vulnerable to corrosion even with modest use.
