Every Peugeot E7 model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2016 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Peugeot E7:
| Year | Pass rate | Tests | Avg mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 70.5% | 217 | 264,069 |
| 2015 | 62.2% | 259 | 240,807 |

What a 10-year-old car fails on
A 2016 car is 10 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 very high mileage. Clutches, dual-mass flywheels and head gaskets have usually been through at least one repair by this point, so ask for evidence rather than assume the car is original everywhere. On a 2016 Peugeot E7 the average at test was 218,488 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 2014 at 70.5%, and the weakest in our data is 2015 at 62.2%. That 8.3 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2016 car against a newer one tells you very little.
