Peugeot 208 Access (2013)
2013 Peugeot 208 Access
CarHunch analysed 141 real MOT records for the 2013 Peugeot 208 Access. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Peugeot 208 Access passes its MOT on the first attempt 80.8% of the time, marginally above the UK average of 80%, and crucially, none of the 141 vehicles analysed ever recorded a dangerous defect—a genuinely clean safety record. The "Other" fuel variant (almost certainly LPG conversions, accounting for 123 vehicles) achieves a standout 91.3% pass rate, suggesting these conversions have been well-maintained.
These cars are running at a sensible 51,000 miles median for their age, with failures averaging just 0.56 per vehicle and zero advisories recorded, indicating minimal wear-related issues. If you're considering one, prioritise getting a pre-purchase inspection focused on the conversion quality if it's an LPG model, but the MOT data suggests this generation 208 is fundamentally sound.
What to check before buying a 2013 Peugeot 208 Access
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
