2005 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · PX55 TKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of escalating structural corrosion and mechanical wear. While it passed the test in November 2025 at 97,229 miles, the tester identified new corrosion on the offside front integral body structure and the brake master cylinder servo mounting area. This represents a progression from the excessive corrosion noted in October 2022, which was now merely considered not excessive, suggesting the vehicle's chassis integrity is actively degrading despite the relatively low mileage. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 97,229 miles reflects a low average of approximately 4,630 miles per year. The data shows a significant two-year gap between November 2022 and November 2024, during which the car covered only 3,052 miles. This pattern of infrequent use often correlates with the specific issues seen in the record, such as the perishing and cracking of multiple tyres noted in late 2024, and the degradation of rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering system and exhaust assembly. Play in the steering rack inner joints has been a recurring failure since at least 2022 and remains present as of the latest 2025 test. The rear exhaust leak has also persisted across every test record for three years, indicating a persistent fault that has not been addressed. Specific attention is required for the underbody and braking lines. The tester previously flagged excessive corrosion on the rear brake pipes in 2022, and the most recent 2025 report highlights rust on the bulkhead and offside front body structure. Given the recurring nature of these rust reports, the buyer should verify that the corrosion has not compromised the structural rigidity of the vehicle, as this will eventually lead to an MOT failure.
