Looking at a 106?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular 106 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 106 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 70,511 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 3,410 in 2026 Q1, down 95%. That is down 62% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

106 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 55.5% of 4,361 Peugeot 106 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.

  • Exhaust Emissions — 14.1% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Brake Performance — 13.3% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Stop Lamp — 6.1% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Transmission — 6% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
