PEUGEOT 1061996 · 1.5L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently indeterminate due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past seventeen years. While the last recorded test on July 24, 2009, resulted in a pass after correcting several electrical and mechanical failures, the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection since that date. This significant gap in records represents a critical risk, as there is no evidence to verify the current state of the structural integrity, braking system, or suspension components after 141,851 miles. The vehicle has covered 141,851 miles over thirty years, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low rate of annual mileage suggests the car was likely used sparingly or stored for long periods. Between June 2008 and July 2009, the car covered only 17,360 miles, indicating a consistent pattern of low use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, it often leads to issues such as seized brake calipers, degradation of rubber seals, and accelerated corrosion on exposed surfaces due to lack of regular operation. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural condition, particularly the rear axle beam, which showed vertical movement during the 2009 test. This specific area on the Peugeot 106 is prone to significant rust and fatigue over time. The buyer should also inspect the brake hoses for perished or cracking, as a twisted hose was noted in 2008, and check the wheel bearings for play. Given the age and the interval since the last test, all rubber components, including suspension bushes and wiper blades, require scrutiny for dry rot and brittleness.
