2004 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · LT54 KTK

The most recent MOT test on October 27, 2025, confirmed this 2004 Peugeot 206 as roadworthy at 77,842 miles, though it follows an unusual pattern of two consecutive failures just days earlier (October 23, 2025) and again in October 2024. The lack of recorded defects in any test—even during failures—suggests the vehicle passed administrative checks but may have encountered intermittent issues not captured in the official record. The stable mileage between tests (around 4,200 miles annually) implies consistent, albeit light, usage, though the repeated failures raise suspicion of either a minor oversight in test procedures or a recurring, non-documented mechanical quirk. The vehicle’s mileage progression—77,842 miles over 21 years—indicates exceptionally low annual usage, averaging just 3,538 miles per year. This could point to prolonged periods of storage or infrequent driving, which may have contributed to minor wear inconsistencies. Notably, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (around 6,000 miles in 12 months) is the highest, suggesting either a temporary increase in usage or delayed servicing. The absence of advisories or defects in any test further supports that major components like suspension, brakes, and exhaust have not been flagged by the tester, though this does not preclude hidden deterioration. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The repeated failures without defects hint at potential issues with brake binding or caliper wear, so caliper freeplay and disc thickness should be checked. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as does the exhaust system for leaks or rusted joints. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, should be verified, as the low mileage might mask uneven wear from prolonged stationary periods. Engine bay fluids and belt tension are also worth confirming, as these are often overlooked in light-used but aged vehicles.
