2002 Peugeot 106 1.1L Petrol · YA02 AAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate retest failures. The most recent inspection on 19 January 2024 at 119,447 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying minor compliance issues to secure a pass, rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The data indicates that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2023, the car covered 10,082 miles, followed by another 12,009 miles between the January 2023 and January 2024 tests. This low annual usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to periods of static operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans, as older Peugeot 106 models are prone to significant corrosion that MOT tests may not catch until it becomes a structural failure. Given the low mileage, check for signs of seized suspension components or control arm bushes which can perish with age rather than distance. The recent retest failures likely involved minor items like bulbs, wipers, or fluid leaks, so ensure the specific issues that caused the 2023 and 2024 failures were properly addressed and not merely temporarily masked.
