2000 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · X836 CCJ

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and shows a clearly worsening trend in structural integrity. While the car passed inspections between 2017 and 2020, the November 2021 test at 123,297 miles resulted in multiple failures. The tester identified significant corrosion on the nearside front and offside front sills that reduced the rigidity of the body structure. This represents a terminal progression from the surface rust noted in previous years to a structural failure that renders the vehicle unfit for road without extensive repairs. The mileage profile is notably low for a 26-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant gap in records, with the last recorded test occurring in November 2021. Since that date, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT for four and a half years, and the mileage remains stagnant at 123,297 miles. This lack of activity suggests the car has sat stationary or been used very infrequently, which often correlates with the accelerated structural corrosion and perished rubber-based components seen in the history. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, floor pans, and inner sills, as the record confirms deep-seated structural rust that has already failed. The 2021 failure also highlighted a corroded rear brake pipe and an excessively worn ball joint, indicating that the suspension and braking systems are degrading. Given the persistent history of oil leaks since 2017, the engine seals should be checked for severity. Because of the long period period since the last test, the risk of seized brake calipers, perished hoses, and degraded tyres is extremely high.
