1997 Peugeot 106: petrol or diesel?
Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.
Petrol
56% pass first time (all 1997 cars: 65%)
Stands out: exhaust emissions (catalyst) 4×, brakes pulling to one side 3.2×, braking performance 1.8×
1,177 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
65% pass first time (all 1997 cars: 65%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
267 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
