Should you buy a used Peugeot 206 Cc?

The Peugeot 206 Cc has an overall MOT pass rate of 68.3% across 290 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.

The most common problems on the Peugeot 206 Cc are brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1 recorded failures), brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1), and track rod end ball joint has excessive play (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.

On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Peugeot 206 Cc with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.

A typical Peugeot 206 Cc owner drives around 2,680 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
