2002 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · RV02 ASO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 4 September 2023 at 86,220 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is satisfactory. The preceding test on 31 August 2023, just three days earlier, also showed no defects despite being listed as a fail—this appears to be a clerical error or system anomaly, as no faults were logged in either record. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive tests since 2019 suggests a stable, well-maintained condition with no recurring mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 86,220 over 24 years equates to an average of 3,592 miles annually, which is low for the vehicle’s age and implies limited use. A significant gap exists between the November 2021 test at 80,664 miles and the September 2023 test at 86,220 miles, during which the car accumulated 5,556 miles in just 22 months—faster than its historical annual rate. This spike may indicate a change in usage pattern, possibly more frequent driving after a period of inactivity. No other rapid mileage jumps or unexplained gaps appear in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, the long periods between tests—particularly the 14-month gap between November 2020 and February 2019, and the 24-month gap between November 2021 and September 2023—mean that consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components may have degraded through age rather than wear. A buyer should inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers for corrosion, check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for dry rot or cracking, and examine the wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts for structural rust, which commonly affects older Peugeots left standing for extended periods. The exhaust system should also be checked for internal corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from condensation buildup rather than heat cycling.
