2000 PEUGEOT 106 GTI

KEY FACTS

• A superb example of an exciting hot hatch, presented in lightly modified condition but with all of its original parts.
• Under the bonnet is the 1.6-litre ‘TU5J4’ inline-four, producing 118bhp and driving the front wheels via an engaging five-speed manual transmission.
• Weighing in at only 950kg, this French flyer can sprint from 0-60mph in only 7.4 seconds.
• The odometer displays just 54,649 miles from new, which is borne out by the car’s service history and past MOT test certificates.
• First registered in July 2000, this 106 GTI was purchased by the seller from a fellow member of Peugeot Sport Club UK in 2017.
• Well known among club members, the car has been driven sparingly by its current keeper, and is recognised as a particularly smart and original example.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 106 GTI is finished in its original hue of Mauritius Blue with black leather and synthetic suede upholstery.
• Equipment includes a manual sunroof, electric windows and electrically adjustable door mirrors.
• It rides on the correct set of 14-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels.
• Modifications include a set of Bilstein shock absorbers, 30mm front lowering springs, a Scorpion stainless-steel exhaust system with a sports catalytic converter, and a K&N induction kit - though the car’s original parts will also be included in the sale.
• Furthermore, an upgraded stereo and rear speakers have also been fitted.
• This 106 GTI will be supplied with all of its original handbooks, the original service book with stamps from new until 2011, and receipts for its past maintenance, as well as the factory jack and wheel brace.
• As shown in the gallery, the car will also be accompanied by numerous spare parts and replacement trim items.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Mauritius Blue paintwork is in impressive overall condition, and is almost entirely original, save for on the front bumper, which was resprayed in 2009.
• In line with the car’s age and mileage there are a few minor blemishes to the finish, including stone chips on the bonnet and lower front bumper, a scratch on the plastic sill cover below the driver’s door, and a very minor dimple on the front bumper, though this is only noticeable upon close inspection.
• All of the exterior trim and light lenses present very well, and while the Peugeot badge on the boot lid is somewhat worn, a brand-new replacement will be provided with the car.
• Inside, the cabin is in great shape, with only a few very minor signs of use, including a scratch on the steering wheel emblem and minor wear on the gear knob, but again, the seller is including new replacement parts in the sale.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 30 November 2020 at 54,516 miles, resulting in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 106 GTI’s most recent routine maintenance was an oil and filter service, which was carried out by the seller in November 2020 at 50,515 miles.
• Prior to this, the seller serviced the car on an annual basis since 2017, changing the engine oil and oil filter every year, and the spark plugs every two years. The cambelt was last replaced four years ago, when the brake fluid was also changed.
