2004 Peugeot 206 1.1L Petrol · SG04 AAV

The 2004 Peugeot 206 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2023-09-27 at 157,322 miles, which recorded no defects. However, a failed test on 2022-09-27 at the same mileage raises questions about data consistency, as no defects were listed for either the pass or fail outcome. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the preceding tests suggests the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards, though the 2022 failure—potentially a procedural error—warrants scrutiny. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension deficiencies were flagged in the recorded tests, indicating no immediate safety risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 157,322 miles over 22 years equates to an average of 7,151 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing, though the 2022 records on the same date appear contradictory. Gaps between tests, such as the 11-month interval between 2021-08-31 and 2022-09-27, suggest possible irregular maintenance patterns, though no critical issues were documented. The lack of advisories or failures in the 2021 and 2020 tests implies consistent upkeep, but the 2022 failure—despite no defects—highlights potential inconsistencies in testing records. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for wear given its age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions failures is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody for rust or structural fatigue is advisable. While the MOT history lacks major red flags, the 2022 test anomaly and the car’s high mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm mechanical integrity and address any unrecorded issues.
