2003 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · LD03 AFJ

This 2003 Peugeot 106 presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with the most recent test in March 2026 at 72,629 miles showing a pass with no defects. The failure the previous day, also with no defects recorded, likely indicates a minor administrative or pre-test rectification rather than a mechanical issue. The overall maintenance trend is stable and positive, with no recurring faults or advisories appearing across the last four annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with light, regular use. At 23 years old, the recorded 72,629 miles equates to roughly 3,158 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. The annual increments between tests are steady, averaging around 4,500 to 4,700 miles per year, with no sudden jumps or long periods of inactivity evident. This suggests the car has been used as a second vehicle or for short daily commutes rather than left standing for extended periods. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus on age-related deterioration that may not yet have been flagged. Inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear axle beam and trailing arm bushes, as these are known weak points on the 106. Check for corrosion on the sills, floorpan, and suspension mounting points, as structural rust can develop silently on a car of this age. Brake discs and pads, along with exhaust system integrity, should also be examined, as low-mileage use can lead to surface corrosion on discs and premature wear on rubber components. A thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to assess the true condition of these ageing mechanical systems.
