Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT entry for this 1997 Peugeot 106 is from 2012-12-04, over 14 years ago. Since the current date is 2026, this indicates the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over a decade, raising significant concerns about its roadworthiness and maintenance history. The recorded mileage of 87,599 miles suggests an average of 3,021 miles per year, which is low for a 29-year-old vehicle. This could imply long periods of inactivity or minimal use, increasing the risk of corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with corrosion, brakes, and tyres. Corrosion to the offside rear boot floor, brake pipes, and oil leaks appeared in multiple entries, suggesting persistent exposure to moisture or poor maintenance. Brake components were frequently flagged: front discs were "slightly worn" in 2012, while rear brake effort and parking brake functionality failed in the same period. Tyre problems included wear near the legal limit and a deep cut in 2012, indicating potential neglect or uneven wear. Emissions and wheel bearing issues further highlight mechanical instability. The pattern of failures does not show clear improvement.
