2004 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · SR04 GFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in July 2025 at 40,143 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent dip in mechanical oversight. A significant failure just four days prior to that pass at 40,142 miles revealed multiple critical defects, including fractured front coil springs and a major exhaust leak linked to an induction leak. While the car passed immediately after these repairs were theoretically made, the failure suggests that components were only addressed upon breaking rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,825 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the 6,465-mile gap between April 2024 and July 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the record highlights the risks of age-related degradation. The advisories for perishing rear tyres in both 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber to dry and crack regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, given the recent failure of both front coil springs. The exhaust system requires close scrutiny for signs of poor repair or corrosion to ensure the previous major leak was properly rectified. Because of the history of tyre perishing, the sidewalls of all four tyres should be checked for deep cracking or structural failure. Structural integrity of the chassis is also vital, as older Peugeot 206 models are prone to rust that can remain hidden on low-mile examples.
