2001 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · EN51 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 26 April 2023 at 129,140 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all minimum standards at that time. This follows a minor failure in April 2022 which was rectified quickly to pass a retest a month later, suggesting the owner is willing to address immediate mechanical requirements as they arise. The mileage pattern is low for a twenty-five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,166 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between November 2019 and April 2021, where the car covered only 1,063 miles in over seventeen months. Between April 2021 and April 2022, the mileage increased by 2,074 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and seized calipers due to lack of use. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as the early Peugeot 106 is prone to significant corrosion in the sills and rear mounting points. Given the low mileage and history of sitting, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake lines for signs of age rather than wear. The record shows no recurring mechanical failures, but the tester should check the discs and rotors for pitting to ensure the system has not suffered during the long periods of stationary storage.
