It's tough at the top... But that hasn't stopped the Peugeot 206 from enjoying seven years and half-a-million sales at the head of the supermini class. Smart looks and a huge choice of engines and bodystyles mean the British-built challenger is still fashionable, despite its advancing years.
Great diesel engines, a practical SW-badged estate and a coupe-cabriolet are all part of the appeal of the varied range. However, buying one isn't without pitfalls. Here, we check out the major factors to consider when splashing out.
What to check
Spare wheel: make sure there's still a spare wheel underneath the boot floor. It should be held in the cradle, but these items are easily stolen. If you want to keep your spare then buy a £40 lock, which should mean it's there when you need it.
Instruments: indicator stalks are prone to breaking on post-July 2001 cars. They were often forced by ham-fisted owners, so check they are still working. Stronger parts were used from January 2003, so later 206s should be fine.
Engine: mounts often fail on 1.4-litre petrol variants, while all models in the range are prone to lower balljoint wear in the front suspension - which is an MoT failure point. Electronic management systems can cause trouble with automatic gearboxes.
Central locking: if water gets into the control box, which is located in the footwell, the central locking system is known to fail. Examples produced before spring 1999 are the worst affected by this problem, so check potential buys for water ingress.
Practicality: five-door models fetch a small premium. Expect to pay £150-£200 extra, although sporty GTi (left) is three-door only. Lower-spec cars get a sunroof instead of air-con - but check these for rattles as they're impossible to fix.
Prices
Early 206s start at £2,300, while one of the first CCs can be yours for £8,000. Smaller-engined 1.6 CCs fetch £500 less than the 2.0 - a 20,000-mile 53-plate 206 CC 2.0 costs £11,500. Meanwhile, £5,000 buys a 51-reg 1.4 GLX or Y-plate 2.0 HDi, with a 52-reg XSi £1,000 more. The 1.4 HDi starts at £5,000; pay £8,000 for a 54-plate five-door 1.4 HDi SE.
What to look for
Peugeot's diesels are highly acclaimed, but avoid the unrefined 1.9-litre - available from October 1998 to November 1999 - as the 2.0 HDi which replaced it is much better. Post-January 2000 cars got a three-year warranty. Don't pay too much for special editions; these often offer little more than a fresh paint job and a better stereo over standard trim. And don't think the 206 CC is a four-seater - space is minimal in the rear.

Apr 2005: Possible seepage from the diesel fuel return pipe (HDi models).
Owner comment
Margaret Wood from Gosport, Hants, has owned her 02-plate 206 2.0 HDi from new - and loves it. "It's fast, refined at speed and very economical," she says. "I generally get 55mpg-plus, and it's great in town and on motorways. There were one or two electrical glitches early on, but they were fixed without fuss by the dealer. It's been plain sailing since!"
More private punters spent their money on the 206 than any other car in 2001, 2002 and 2003, so the Peugeot is certainly a popular choice. However, in the Auto Express Driver Power 2005 satisfaction and reliability survey, the car came 98th out of 100, with 24 per cent of owners saying they wouldn't buy another. There are plenty to choose from, but if you do take the plunge, make sure you're not buying a liability.
