2004 Peugeot 206 1.1L Petrol · KV04 YHT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent MOT pass on 19 March 2026 at 122,425 miles, which recorded no defects. This recent result suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a period of increasing complexity between 2023 and 2025, where the vehicle faced multiple advisories and a failure, but the current status indicates a successful resolution of those specific faults. The car has covered 122,425 miles over its 22-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,565 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which can sometimes lead to component degradation from sitting idle. The record shows consistent annual testing, though a notable mileage jump occurred between March 2017 and March 2016, where the recorded mileage actually decreased from 85,369 to 93,596, suggesting a potential clerical error in the historical data or a mileage rollback. Aside from this discrepancy, the mileage accumulation has remained steady and predictable. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the braking system and rear suspension components. The tester flagged corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside rear at 120,323 miles in March 2025 and again at 117,985 miles in March 2024. While the 2026 test showed no defects, the recurrence of corrosion on these lines suggests a susceptibility to rust that warrants a physical check for structural integrity and line condition. The suspension history also indicates recurring wear in ball joints and shock absorbers. The 2023 test at 115,711 miles noted worn shock absorber bushes and an oil leak, while the 2024 failure involved a deteriorated anti-roll bar dust cover and play in a track rod end. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of suspension component deterioration, a thorough inspection of all bushes, joints, and dampers is necessary to ensure no new play or leaks have developed since the last inspection.
