How reliable are Peugeots? Every model at the MOT
DVSA recorded 4,109,323 MOT tests on Peugeot cars in 2023 to 2025, and 66.2% were a pass. That is 5.5 points below the figure for every car tested. Below, each of the 30 models with enough tests to judge. The best-performing Peugeot with a meaningful sample is the 108 at 82% and the weakest the 307 at 48.7%. A gap that size within one make usually reflects the age of the cars still on the road rather than the design, which is why the age-adjusted column matters.
