#32: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 2:23 am ---- I've had 6 206s.
2002 1.1 - Had it until 70k miles. Only needed a clutch change in the time I had it.
2002 GTi 138 - Had from 60k miles to 100k miles. A number of issues, but none with the engine (apart from the rebuild, but that wasn't due to wear & tear)
1999 GTi - 120,000 miles, no service history. Failed MOT for a shot rear axle. Suspension had all sorts of problems so I broke the car.
1999 GTi - 92,000 miles. Head gasket failure.
2001 GTi - 90,000 miles. ICV problem, but ran great.
1998 1.1 - 128,000 miles. ICV problem. No other issues.

I'm hoping mine will last up to 140K. That'll do me.

#35: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: Dan206, Location: SwindonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:30 am ---- My 1.4 hdi is on 165000ish at the moment, ive owned it a year and since then its had a new starter motor, crank pulley some new belts and just some general engine maintainence. Its been serviced a couple of times and has been well looked after. If your willing to spend money on them they will last.
#36: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: Lewis1592, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:45 pm ---- sittin at 108k. engine as good as ever. plan on running it to at least 150k before changing car.
#37: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: leffex, Location: 1Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 12:47 pm ---- sitting with a 184,000 miles engine still going strong! Dun forget to change the oil(THE-SECRET-IS). Y know Taxis are driving quite alot and their cars are highmilage but they still go on and on.

well for all i know it could've started back up if i repaired the fuel lines after impaling it into a brick wall lol
#39: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:23 pm ---- Theoretically the GTi could last longer than any of the other engines. Its size means it is less stressed than smaller engines and it's no more complicated that any other 16V engine. There's no turbo to break either.
They tend to get serviced more often too but then they also get driven harder.

Thanks everyone, it put my mind at rest. I shall let the car warm up for a few minutes before going on my short journeys from now on
As for diesels, can the 1.9 live as long as the 2.0 hdi?
You hear about volvos that have a million miles on the clock, is the 2.0 hdi a contender? My grandad has one and says it should outlive the bodywork
Are 138s/180 doomed to a short life? As I have heard they are delicate
I'm not sure it's that there delicate, more that most of them live an abused life lol.
fast versions of hot hatch backs tend to unfortunately mostly be owned by the trun the key and rag the hell out of it brigade but if looked after should last just as long as other versions
i always allow mine to get up to normal oil and coolant temps until i rev it over 3000k and always drive easy for the last couple of miles before i switch it off i check the levels weekly and service it with genuine only parts and iv just hit 64k with no faults at all so far (iv had it since it had done 14K)

#42: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: ab16, Location: northern irelandPosted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 6:53 pm ---- Really depends on driving style and roads you be driving on. If the roads are bumpy and your going fast then the car will need more repairs etc.
#43: Re: Average life expectancy of a 206? Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 7:14 am ---- Give it about 6 weeks & there will start to be plenty of dead 206's showing up on here
Its getting near the time of the year where certain types of people start running out of driving talent, happens every year on here without fail
