Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise an inspection of the engine management system. The repeated failure for 'Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits' suggests that while the car can pass, the emissions control components—such as the oxygen sensor or catalytic converter—may be nearing the end of their effective life or are intermittently failing.
Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work carried out to rectify these specific emissions faults. You should also check for any recent service history that might document the replacement of spark plugs or air filters, as these can impact Lambda readings. Given the age and mileage, ensure all electrical components, including the rear fog lamp which was a previous failure point, are fully operational.
As a small 1.1-litre petrol vehicle, the Peugeot 106 is generally positioned in a low insurance group and is likely to be tax-efficient. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it a budget-friendly option for urban driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically low due to the simplicity of the 1124cc engine. However, you should budget for potential emissions-related repairs given the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall in the range of £800-£1,100 depending on annual mileage.
Specifically focus on the exhaust system and engine sensors. The MOT history explicitly notes two failures (in October 2024 and October 2025) due to the Exhaust Lambda reading being outside specified limits. This is a specific technical fault that could indicate a sensor issue or a problem with the catalytic converter.
Additionally, check the rear lighting clusters. The 2024 MOT failure included a non-working offside rear fog lamp. While this was rectified for the pass, it is worth verifying that all exterior lighting is currently functional. Finally, given the mileage of 117,176, inspect the condition of the suspension components and tyres, as these are common wear items on high-mileage small cars.
This 2001 silver Peugeot 106 has covered 117,176 miles since its first registration in October 2001. The MOT history shows a pattern of emissions-related failures in both 2024 and 2025, specifically regarding the exhaust Lambda readings. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in October 2025, the recurring nature of these faults warrants careful consideration.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Peugeot 106 model.
