2004 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · SE04 AAN

The vehicle shows a history of intermittent maintenance typical of a high-age, low-mileage Peugeot. The most recent test in March 2025 at 99,887 miles indicated a pass, though the tester flagged slight corrosion on the front brake hose ferrule. This follows a period of brake-related concerns, dating back to 2020 when both offside front and nearside rear brake pipes showed corrosion. While the car has passed several consecutive tests, the presence of brake pipe corrosion and thin pads suggests the braking system is susceptible to degradation despite the low annual mileage. At 99,887 miles over 22 years, the car has averaged approximately 4,500 miles per year. This low usage explains the recurring issues with rubber components, such as the perishing tyres noted in 2020 and the deteriorated engine mounting flagged in 2021. The record also reveals a long-term trend with the offside front shock absorber, which showed misting of oil from 2016 through 2018. The fact that these issues persisted for years without replacement indicates that the owner only addressed faults when they caused a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mechanical history highlights recurring issues with the suspension and lighting. The 2021 failure due to ineffective wipers, incorrect side repeater colours, and parking brake travel shows basic items were rectified only upon MOT testing. However, the 2019 failure regarding lambda readings suggests potential issues with engine management or exhaust sensor health at that time. A buyer should specifically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension ball joints, as the record shows a history of damaged dust covers and worn components throughout the vehicle's life.
