PEUGEOT 1061998 · 1.1L PETROL

The 1998 Peugeot 106 has a limited MOT history, with the most recent recorded test on 2011-09-22 at 74,553 miles. This test included both a “PASSED” and a “FAILED” outcome for the same mileage, indicating potential inconsistencies or multiple issues. The failed portion listed multiple defects, including non-functional registration plate lamps, incorrect direction indicator colours, ineffective windscreen wipers, an insecure CV joint gaiter, and rear tyre cracking. These issues suggest neglect or age-related degradation, particularly in lighting, wiper systems, and suspension components. Earlier MOTs from 2008 to 2010 show sporadic minor faults, such as a distorted rim, oil leaks, and exhaust wear, but no major safety risks. The 2009 test noted brake imbalance and slight exhaust deterioration, which could indicate gradual wear in braking and exhaust systems. However, the 2011 failures highlight a sharper decline in safety-critical areas, particularly lighting and wiper functionality, which are essential for roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,553 miles over 28 years equates to approximately 2,663 miles per year, far below average for its age. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate issues like rubber component degradation (e.g., tyres, wiper blades) and corrosion. However, the absence of MOT records post-2011 means there is no evidence of how the vehicle has been maintained or used in the past 15 years.
