Peugeot 106 (1995)
1995 Peugeot 106
CarHunch analysed 33,793 real MOT records for the 1995 Peugeot 106. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 1995 Peugeot 106 passes its MOT first time in just 63% of cases, well below the UK average of 80%, and one in five examples has recorded a dangerous defect during its life—a real concern for a 30-year-old car. Petrol and diesel variants perform similarly poorly, both around 62–64%, so fuel type won't be your differentiator here.
These cars are averaging nearly 94,000 miles, which is respectable for their age, but they're racking up 2.4 failures and 5.2 advisories per test, signalling persistent wear across multiple systems rather than one catastrophic weak point. Before viewing one, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks suspension, braking, and corrosion—and budget for immediate remedial work, as most will need it.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 1.8 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 1995 Peugeot 106
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.
- ⚠️ 20.6% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
