Peugeot Expert: every year fails more than average

Based on 47,008 real MOT tests from DVSA records. Each year is compared against every other car first registered the same year — otherwise the numbers would only tell you that older cars fail more, which you knew.

The short answer

Avoid 2005 to 2019. The worst is the 2016, which fails its MOT 72% more often than other cars of the same age.

Averages tell you what to expect. Its registration tells you what actually happened — every MOT, every advisory, and whether the mileage adds up.

Shaded rows are the years that differ most from other cars of the same age — worse, better.

How this is worked out

Every MOT test recorded by DVSA in 2023 on a Peugeot Expert, grouped by the year the car was first registered. Retests are excluded, so a car that failed and was fixed still counts as a failure. Each year's rate is then divided by the rate for all cars first registered that year — so 120 means 20% more failures than its contemporaries, not 20% more than a brand new car.
