MK51 AEB MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Peugeot 106 (MK51 AEB) between March 2024 and April 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 07 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Steering (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 13 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Brake cable insecure (1.1.15 (c))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution; this Peugeot 106 shows a history of mechanical neglect and recurring electrical faults. While cheap to run, the persistent oil leaks and repeated SRS warning lamp failures may require significant investment to make safe.
The primary priority must be investigating the supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp, which has appeared in multiple MOT tests (2023, 2025, 2026); this often indicates an airbag fault that is expensive to diagnose. You should also inspect the steering rack thoroughly, as the history shows repeated issues with gaiters and anti-roll bar linkages. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, as the gearbox leak has been noted for several years now.
When negotiating, factor in the imminent cost of a new exhaust silencer and potential anti-roll bar repairs. Look for signs of perishing tyres, as previous tests highlighted multiple issues with cracking and uneven wear. Given the age of the car, check the underbody for structural rust, which is a common killer for French cars of this era.
The 1.2L petrol engine is highly economical, likely achieving 45-50 mpg in real conditions. Being an older small-displacement vehicle, it falls into a low tax band and modest insurance group, making it affordable for new drivers.
Maintenance costs are generally low for this simple model, but the recurring issues with steering and emissions suggest unexpected bills could arise. Estimate an annual running cost including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance at approximately £900-£1,100.
Focus heavily on the gearbox and engine seals; the MOT history records a persistent oil leak since 2025. Ensure this isn't becoming a major spray. Inspect the front suspension closely, specifically the anti-roll bar bushes and steering rack gaiters, which have been frequent points of failure or advisory.
Check the exhaust system for deep corrosion, as the most recent advisory notes the silencer is already corroding. Additionally, ensure the SRS/Airbag light turns out when the engine is started; if it stays on, the car is a safety risk and should be addressed immediately before any purchase.
This 2001 Peugeot 106 has covered over 102,000 miles, which is above-average for its age. While it passed its most recent MOT, the history is marred by multiple failures related to emissions, steering components, and critical safety systems. The presence of a persistent gearbox oil leak and a corroding exhaust indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a basic standard rather than through preventative care.
The Peugeot 106 is known for its simplicity, but examples are prone to electrical gremlins and rust as they age.
