2002 Peugeot 206 1.4L Petrol · YX52 KWF

The most recent MOT on 28 January 2022 recorded a pass at 86,120 miles, albeit with advisory notes on front headlamp lens product, slight corrosion on the rear brake‑hose ferrules and off‑side front suspension arm corrosion. Earlier that same day the vehicle failed, prompting remedial work that cleared the defects, indicating that the car was roadworthy at the time of the test. Since the last test the car has not undergone a MOT, so its current legal status is expired, but the historical trend shows a generally stable pattern with recurring corrosion on suspension components rather than a worsening mechanical failure. Mileage has risen from 34,454 miles in November 2010 to 86,120 miles in January 2022, an average of roughly 3,600 miles per year. The increments between tests are modest – 34,454 miles (2010) → 35,930 miles (2011) → 43,277 miles (2012) → 52,239 miles (2014) → 61,006 miles (2015) → 64,294 miles (2016) → 71,135 miles (2017) → 79,301 miles (2018) → 82,390 miles (2020) → 86,120 miles (2022) – suggesting light, consistent use with no periods of rapid accumulation or long gaps in recording. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension arms, checking for corrosion and any loss of structural integrity, especially the off‑side arm noted as corroded in 2022. The rear brake‑hose ferrules should be inspected for corrosion that could affect hydraulic reliability. Headlamp lenses should be examined for any product build‑up that may impair illumination. Past records also flag tyre wear close to legal limits, steering rack inner joint play, anti‑roll bar linkage play, and rust on rear suspension mounts and the fuel‑tank strap; these areas merit a thorough visual and functional check. Verifying the parking brake’s travel and efficiency, as well as confirming that brake discs and pads are within thickness specifications, will help ensure that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with the historical data.
