2002 Peugeot 106 1.5L Diesel · PK02 AFY

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend following its most recent inspection. In September 2025 at 90,652 miles, the car passed the MOT with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a clean result in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is being maintained to a functional standard despite its age and intermittent failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,777 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-intensity usage between 2022 and 2025, with the mileage increasing by only 2,225 miles over the three-year period between the first three tests. While this low mileage reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts, which is evidenced by the 2022 advisory regarding perishing tyres. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of rubber components due to the low-mileage history. The 2022 test flagged both front tyres for perishing and cracking, a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Furthermore, the 2024 failure due to a split nearside front drive shaft CV boot indicates that these components are susceptible to dry rotting. A physical inspection of all drive boots and suspension bushes for cracks or grease leakage is essential to prevent premature failure of the CV joints. Given the age of the Peugeot 106, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and welding points remains vital. Although the recent MOT records do not flag significant rust, vehicles of this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the rear wheel arches, floor pans, and brake mounting points. The clean 2025 pass suggests the vehicle is currently in good condition, but the low annual mileage means that age-related corrosion is a greater risk than mechanical wear-and-tear.
