Its next to the fuse box box on drivers side.

Only had the car a few weeks so not sure where to start, I have the MOT coming up in a month or so,
If it is flashing at time of MOT - Will it FAIL ?

YES.
It also wont deploy in the event of an accident if the light is flashing / on all the time.
A 206 of this age its most likely the rotary spool gone faulty BUT without testing the srs system your not going to get a 100% concrete answer.
