Hey guys, New here, just looked through the what to look for when buying a 206 and found it very helpful! Just wanted to get some opinions on a car I'm going to look at tonight, this seemed like the best place to ask! This is the car in question autotrader.co.uk/class...new/page/1 any insight at all is appreciated, I think I can get the price down a bit but overall what's the thoughts on it?

Looks decent. I like the colour & alloys. Check the condition of the upholstery (no photos), and do a proper HPI on it (if the seller hasn't already got one).
Mileage (10 years old) is a bit high tbh.
Get as much discount and as much warranty as you can!

What would the yellow light on the dash be?
Thats the only real thing that concerned me looking at the pics.
Is it the ABS or Airbag light?

You sir, have quite the eye! I can barely see the dash nevermind a yellow light, I will make sure I give it a proper checking over. I didn't think the mileage was too bad for a 10 year old diesel but I've been known to be wrong. HPI check I will make sure I do, obviously need to make sure the cambelt has been done semi recently. Anything else to be wary of?
Thanks for the welcome and the quick replies.

I was hoping you knew that.
If it was me I'd contact the seller and ask what the light is and what its saying on the display.
Also have you google'd the seller?
I've had a bit of experience with "company's" that only allow you to view by appointment...it normally ends in tears and their warranties normally mean jack s**t.
Be careful.

Thanks guys, I'm going to look at it tonight as its only down the road so to speak.
I'll make sure I grill him about the lights that are on and stuff.
I'll give them a quick google now as well, the google search turned nothing up but I am on my phone. Will try again on the computer before I set off to look tonight

With the position of it, I'd say it's the ABS warning light. Airbag lights are further left.

In that case I personally wouldn't bother with it, I'm sure you can get plenty of 206's for that money now.

OR ask for a new mot on it as they would have to fix the ABS to get a pass 
Then again it was only tested 11 days ago

I got my car with an MOT for one of those types of places.......no brakes, 3 bold tyres.
The only reason I bought mine was because I knew the history.

From memory the lights would have to be on to put the fogs on and they dont look on to me.

Good point, guess I'll know for sure tonight.
Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.
