That suggests the speedo is at fault then. Otherwise the odometer wouldn't be working either if the problem was elsewhere.

Will be the classic non plexed speedo dodgy drive motor issue in the instrument cluster.

Thanks for that, so its best to change the whole instrument cluster with another one which has clocked up lower mileage than mine then and job done??

Replacement cluster

OR

Replace the dodgy drive motor in your current cluster

OR replacement cluster & you can swop a part over from old cluster to retain the correct mileage, pretty sure the info is on the forum somewhere.

I just changed mine, T Reg 1999, Got one from a 2000 car, You MUST get one with lower milage from a care before 2001, My mileage went from 100k down to 80k, so make sure you make a record of the old and new milage so you can always work out what the actual milage is.

The milage is stored in the unit, not the ECU, Atleast I don't think it is, when I changed mine the milage was 83000, and it didn't update to the cars higher, actual milage, so I'm pretty sure the milage is stored in the clocks.

Just double-checked the log book there and the car is a 2001, is that going to make a difference to any of this?

Your 206 is NON plexed as you have already said you have 2 connector plugs on the back of the cluster.

Yeah ignore what I said earlier, You can get any speedo as long as it has two plugs, milage is irrelevant.

Yeah its got two multi-cable connectors out of the back, a yellow one and a white one. Does that mean, it doesn't matter about the year of reg then?

Yes, It has to be pre-plex, which is pre-2001 I think, I always get it mixed up.

As long as it has two plugs on the back you will be fine, The one plug speedos are Multi-plex.
