Every Peugeot Bailey model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2017 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Peugeot Bailey:

What a 9-year-old car fails on
A 2017 car is 9 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear. On a 2017 Peugeot Bailey the average at test was 18,324 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2018 at 95.8%, and the weakest in our data is 2019 at 92.8%. That 3.0 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2017 car against a newer one tells you very little.
