2005 Peugeot 206 1.6L Diesel · LT55 AFE

The most recent MOT on 15 December 2023 recorded a pass at 88,918 miles, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at the time of testing. Earlier failures in January 2022 and December 2023 did not list any specific defects, suggesting the failures were likely administrative rather than mechanical, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable. Mileage has risen from 78,833 miles in early 2022 to 88,918 miles by the end of 2023, an increase of roughly 10,000 miles over 23 months – about 4,200 miles per year, which aligns with the long‑term average of 4,234 miles per year for a 2005 model. The low cumulative mileage for a 21‑year‑old car points to light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, and no abrupt spikes or gaps are evident in the record. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of suspension components such as bushings and coil springs, as low mileage does not preclude wear in these areas. Inspect brake discs, pads, and calipers for any signs of uneven wear or binding, especially since the MOT history contains no recorded brake advisories. Examine tyre tread depth, wheel alignment, and for any surface rust on structural panels, as these are common wear points not always captured in a pass‑only report. Finally, a brief road test will reveal the state of the steering feel, exhaust emissions, and any latent noises that could indicate hidden faults. Confirm that all service records are available and that the vehicle’s MOT documentation matches the observed condition before finalising the purchase.
