1998 Peugeot 206: 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 46% pass first time (all 1998 cars: 65%) Stands out: exhaust system 3.3×, exhaust emissions (catalyst) 4.2×, suspension arm bushes and joints 3.2× 186 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›

Diesel and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
