2001 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · YP51 AFA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent documented test. The August 2022 MOT at 71,577 miles showed no defects, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy state following previous mechanical interventions. While the record shows intermittent failures in the past, the absence of advisories or defects in the latest entry indicates a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 25-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,863 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between August 2016 at 71,676 miles and the subsequent test in August 2022 at 71,577 miles. This suggests the car may have been stored or used very sparingly for several years. Such low usage can lead to issues with rubber components perishing or fluids degrading, despite the low mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of rubber components and seals. The 2013 failure highlighted a deteriorated nearside front CVJ gaiter and perished tyres, while the 2012 test noted a damaged gaiter and an airbag warning lamp. Given the long periods of inactivity, you must inspect the CVJ boots, suspension bushes, and all tyre sidewalls for cracking or age-related perishing. The 2014 report of a slight gear oil leak warrants a physical check under the vehicle to ensure the seal has not worsened during storage. The exhaust system also requires scrutiny. The vehicle failed in both 2011 and 2013 due to major exhaust gas leaks and high emissions. Although the 2022 test passed without issue, the history of exhaust failures suggests the system has been a recurring weak point. Check the manifold, catalytic converter, and exhaust piping for signs of corrosion or loose connections to ensure the integrity of the emissions system remains intact.
