2004 Peugeot 206 1.6L Petrol · 16 CE

The most recent MOT in September 2025 was a pass, but it did record defects including a minor exhaust leak, thin offside rear brake pads, and a defective windscreen wiper blade. There is a clear pattern of tyre-related issues in the history. Between 2022 and 2024, the vehicle consistently had issues regarding tyre tread depth, cuts, or perishing. Although the 2025 test did not mention tyres, the introduction of exhaust and brake defects suggests the trend of maintenance items is increasing. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, covering roughly 1,930 miles per year. This low usage can be a positive, but it can also imply the car has been standing for long periods. Such under-use often leads to the perishing of rubber components and tyre deterioration, which is consistent with the previous MOT entries. The most important checks are to inspect the exhaust system for leaks, check the condition and thickness of the rear brake pads, and inspect the tyres carefully for any signs of perishing or damage.
