2002 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · RX02 VLM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 71,062 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. Following a single failure in August 2023, the vehicle has passed two consecutive tests without advisories, suggesting that any previous issues were rectified and the current maintenance standard remains consistent. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 24 years old, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 7,806 miles, reflecting a history of very infrequent use. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, the long periods of standing associated with such low usage patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as seals, hoses, and brake lines, which are not always reflected in mileage figures alone. Despite the clean history of recent tests, the age of the Peugeot 106 necessitates a focused inspection of age-related corrosion. A buyer must perform a thorough check of the sills, wheel arches, and floor mounting points for structural rust, as these are common failure points for this model over decades. Given the low mileage, also inspect the suspension bushes and tyrealls for cracking or perish, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Checking the brake discs for surface pitting is also advisable, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop oxidation on the braking surfaces.
