2002 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · LB02 EHH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in tyre condition. While it passed the most recent test in July 2025 at 34,771 miles, the tester flagged three tyres for perishing and cracking. This represents a worsening trend compared to the June 2024 test where only one tyre was noted, and follows the July 2023 test where a single tyre was worn to the legal limit. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,450 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 2,546 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of stationary. This low usage explains the structural degradation of the rubber components rather than mechanical wear. The cracking noted in the 2025 record is a classic symptom of age rot, where rubber dries out due to age and lack of movement despite having remaining tread depth. A buyer must prioritize the immediate replacement of a full set of tyres, as the MOT record confirms the current rubber is reaching its structural end. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and wheel arches where these Peugeot models often suffer when sitting for long periods. The brakes should also be checked for seized brake calipers or perished rubber lines, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from internal corrosion and fluid breakdown.
