WF03 HTZ MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Peugeot 106 (WF03 HTZ) between March 2006 and April 2026.
The record contains 23 passes and 4 failures.
The most recent test on 23 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 17 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Inner Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.

Known faults for Peugeot Peugeot 106
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 106
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Rear Trailing Arm Axle Bearing Seizure(Serious)
The rear suspension on the 106 uses a transverse torsion beam tube with trailing radius arms riding on needle roller bearings. Over years of UK rain, road grit, and road salt, the outer rubber water seals perish. Water enters the axle tube, corroding the needle bearings and gouging the hardened steel pivot shafts. As the bearings collapse, the rear wheels tilt inwards at the top (excessive negative camber). In advanced stages, the inner tyre sidewall rubs directly against the inner wheel arch tub.
- TU Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Oil and Coolant Leaks(Serious)
The PSA TU eight-valve petrol engine family (1.1, 1.4, and 1.6) is notorious for head gasket degradation. Specifically, the pressurized oil feed gallery passes through the front-left corner of the cylinder head, directly above the alternator. The factory composite gasket deteriorates around this corner, causing engine oil to weep externally down the front face of the block. If neglected, the failure breaches the coolant passages, causing coolant loss, oil-coolant cross-contamination, and overheating.
- Stiff or Snapping Clutch Cable and Pedal Quadrant Wear(Moderate)
The manual 106 uses a mechanical clutch cable coupled to a plastic self-adjusting toothed ratchet quadrant mounted atop the clutch pedal box. Over time, road dirt and heat cause the inner steel cable to fray and bind inside its protective outer nylon sheath. The resulting excessive pedal resistance puts heavy mechanical stress on the plastic quadrant teeth, causing the ratchet to slip or the cable to snap completely, leaving the pedal stuck flat to the cabin floor.
