Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given the recent MOT history, any potential buyer should request a comprehensive service history to see if the issues identified during testing—such as the steering column universal joint and the various wheel bearing issues—have been professionally rectified. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely upcoming maintenance required for the rear axle corrosion and the previously noted soft brakes.
When viewing the car, check for any signs of fluid leaks, as the 2025 MOT recorded gearbox oil seepage. Ensure that the door catch on the nearside front is fully functional, as this was a specific failure point in 2026. It is also advisable to test all lighting, specifically the dipped beam headlamps, which were noted as non-functional in the recent failure.
The 1124cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a low insurance group and tax band, making it relatively inexpensive to run for urban driving. Fuel economy for a small Peugeot 106 of this era is typically modest but efficient for its size.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for a car of this age due to the recurring nature of the MOT advisories, such as wheel bearings and exhaust leaks. Expect to budget for periodic repairs to the braking system and suspension components. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £850-£1,100, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
A thorough inspection of the underside is essential, specifically looking at the rear axle for the surface corrosion mentioned in multiple MOT tests between 2025 and 2026. You should also examine the drive shaft CV boots; the history shows a pattern of deterioration and splitting on both the nearside and offside fronts.
Check the braking components carefully. The 2025 MOT highlighted 'soft brakes' and a minor exhaust leak, so listen for unusual noises from the exhaust and feel for a spongy pedal. Finally, inspect the steering column to ensure the universal joint is secure, addressing the failure noted in the April 2026 test.
This 2003 silver Peugeot 106 has covered 97,814 miles since its first registration in February 2003. While it has passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, the record shows a high frequency of failures, particularly regarding braking systems, drive shaft boots, and wheel bearings. The vehicle's history suggests several areas of ongoing maintenance requirements.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Peugeot 106 model to provide a comparative baseline.
