Peugeot MOT Results And Reliability Indicators

DVLA/DVSA vehicle and MOT data, 2025*

See how Peugeot vehicles have performed in MOT tests, then use the results to focus your used-vehicle checks.

  • Compare Peugeot pass rates with the Great Britain result
  • See how results change by vehicle age and model
  • Check common MOT faults before viewing a vehicle

These results are MOT reliability indicators for groups of vehicles. They cannot predict the condition of one vehicle.

Peugeot Rate After Allowing For Vehicle Age

The percentage-point difference is calculated before the displayed rates are rounded to one decimal place. The adjusted rate allows for differences in vehicle age.

What this does not tell you: manufacturer statistics describe groups of recorded tests. They cannot prove whether one Peugeot is reliable or predict its next MOT result.

Manufacturer benchmark

Peugeot MOT Results Compared With Other Manufacturers

Peugeot ranked 33 of 37 after applying the same Great Britain vehicle-age profile to every qualifying manufacturer. This reduces the effect of one manufacturer having an older or newer mix of vehicles.

Great Britain outright first-time benchmark: 76.9%. Ranking describes MOT outcomes, not breakdowns, repair costs or the condition of one vehicle.

Vehicle age

Peugeot MOT Results By Vehicle Age

Compare the Peugeot you are considering with vehicles of a similar age. Each cohort is shown against the Great Britain Class 4 rate at the same age.

Model comparison

Peugeot Model MOT Pass Rates

15 models met the minimum of 5,000 Class 4 tests. Class 4 covers cars, taxis and certain light commercial vehicles, so qualifying model tables may include vans. The table is ordered by outright first-time pass rate. These model rates are not age-adjusted, so different age profiles can affect the comparison.

108 recorded the highest rate in this qualifying set at 83.6% across 88,193 tests. 307 recorded the lowest at 62.4% across 29,232 tests. This is a historical MOT comparison, not a prediction for every example of either model.

Questions

Peugeot MOT Results And Reliability FAQs

Does an MOT pass rate measure reliability?

It is one reliability indicator. The 2025 Class 4 data shows how Peugeot vehicles performed at MOT tests. It does not measure breakdowns, durability, repair costs or the condition of one vehicle.

What does passed first time mean?

An outright first-time pass means the initial recorded test result was a pass, before any repair at the test station or retest.

Which Peugeot model had the highest MOT pass rate?

108 recorded the highest outright first-time rate among qualifying models at 83.6%. Only models with at least 5,000 tests are included, and these model results are not age-adjusted.

Can I check a Peugeot's MOT history for free?

Yes. The free MOT history can show recorded passes, failures, advisories and mileage from official MOT records for the registration you enter.

What does the Premium Vehicle Report add?

It adds available checks for outstanding finance, stolen records, write-off and salvage history, mileage, recalls, valuation and other vehicle data for the individual registration.

How These Results Were Calculated

The analysis uses anonymised DVSA Class 4 MOT tests recorded in Great Britain from 1 January to 31 December 2025. The initial-test analysis excludes abandoned tests, aborted tests and retests. The results use these definitions:

  • Outright first-time pass: the initial recorded result was a pass before rectification at the MOT test station
  • Pass after station repair: a defect was rectified at the MOT test station during that initial test
  • Qualifying initial tests: the denominator contains outright passes, failures and passes after rectification at the MOT test station
  • Station-repair percentage: the share of those qualifying initial tests that passed after station repair
  • Class 4 scope: cars, taxis and certain light commercial vehicles
  • Manufacturer comparison minimum: 50,000 qualifying tests
  • Model comparison minimum: 5,000 qualifying tests
  • Age cohort minimum: 300 tests
  • Fault percentages: shares of recorded failure items, not tests
  • Age adjustment: Clean Green Cars' analytical adjustment, not an official DVSA measure
