1997 Peugeot 106 1.4L Petrol · R627 BLE

The 1997 PEUGEOT 106 has a current roadworthiness status of passed, based on the most recent MOT test in 2021, which showed no defects at a recorded mileage of 52,868 miles. However, the maintenance trend is questionable, given that the vehicle failed its MOT test on the previous day, with no defects recorded on either occasion. This inconsistency raises concerns about the reliability of the MOT history and the overall condition of the vehicle. The recorded mileage of 52,868 miles, accumulated over approximately 29 years, is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age. Assuming an average annual mileage of around 1,823 miles, this suggests that the vehicle has been used sparingly or has spent long periods standing still. Notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation are not evident in the provided MOT history, which only spans two tests in 2021. However, the low mileage may indicate that the vehicle has been well-maintained, but it also means that certain consumable components, such as tyres and wiper blades, may be nearing the end of their lifespan. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the suspension and steering system, given the lack of defects recorded in the MOT history. The vehicle's brakes, including the rear brakes that were flagged as binding, should also be examined closely. Additionally, the exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the vehicle should be assessed, as any signs of corrosion or rust could compromise the vehicle's safety and roadworthiness. A thorough examination of the vehicle's underside and wheel arches is essential to identify any potential issues with rust or damage.
