Peugeot 206+: refreshed 206, engines and what to know when buying
Peugeot 206+ (2009–2013) — the refreshed, more affordable 206 version, sold alongside the 207. We look at its engines, trims and what buyers need to know.
206+ in brief
The Peugeot 206+ is a refreshed Peugeot 206 that was produced for a few more years alongside the 207. It received a new front end in line with the 207's design, but retained its simple construction.
It's a small, unpretentious and economical car for the city. It was mainly offered as Peugeot's most affordable model.
Versions and which to choose
Available in 3- and 5-door hatchback bodystyles. Compared to the 206, it had a refreshed appearance and some updated features, but the core technology remained the same.
If you're after one of these, the most important thing is the condition and service history. Due to its low price, these cars were often not well-maintained.
Engines and gearbox
The most common engines are the 1.1 (around 60hp) and 1.4 petrol (around 75hp) as well as the 1.4 HDi diesel (around 70hp). The gearbox is a 5-speed manual.
Power is adequate for the city, but the car feels underpowered on the motorway. The diesel is economical, but sensitive to fuel quality and maintenance.
What to check when buying
Check the underside of the body, rear wheel arches and sills for corrosion. Inspect the suspension, as it often wears out in small cars.
Check the electrical system and window operation, as well as the engine service history. In the case of a diesel, ask about the injectors and turbo.
