Peugeot 106 Xnd Zest 2 (2000)
2000 Peugeot 106 Xnd Zest 2
CarHunch analysed 109 real MOT records for the 2000 Peugeot 106 Xnd Zest 2. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2000 Peugeot 106 is in serious trouble: only 1.9% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and the diesel variant (which makes up virtually all examples) performs identically poorly. While dangerous defects are rare at 0%, the catastrophic pass rate makes this one of the least reliable cars of its generation—buyers should expect multiple failed attempts and significant repair costs before getting a clean MOT.
At nearly 80,000 miles median, these cars are actually running relatively low for their age, yet they're still failing MOTs at a rate 42 times worse than average, suggesting fundamental structural or mechanical decay rather than simple wear from high mileage. Before purchasing, have a pre-buy inspection by a diesel specialist and budget for at least one full MOT cycle of repairs—this model requires serious commitment to get roadworthy.
What to check before buying a 2000 Peugeot 106 Xnd Zest 2
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
