1996 PEUGEOT 1061.1L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1996 Peugeot 106 was in 2010, over 15 years ago, and it passed with minor issues including slight play in a lower suspension ball joint, corroded bodywork, a damaged door mirror, and an oil leak. These suggest early signs of wear and potential neglect. The MOT history shows recurring issues with the front suspension, particularly the lower ball joints. In 2008, it failed due to excessive play in the offside front ball joint, and by 2010, the nearside had developed similar but milder play. This pattern indicates ongoing wear in the suspension system that may have worsened over time. The vehicle also had repeated problems with headlamp alignment and brake performance in 2009, which are critical safety concerns. A failed MOT in 2009 highlighted poor braking on the nearside rear and misaligned lights, suggesting the car was not in a safe condition at that time. The recorded mileage of 77,527 miles over 30 years equates to around 2,584 miles per year, which is relatively low. This could mean the car has seen light use or may have been left unused for long periods. Either scenario can lead to issues such as seized components, degraded rubber, and corrosion that may not be evident from the MOT records alone.
