The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 86% first-time pass rate means roughly 14 in every 100 Peugeot Expert Professional L1 Bluehdis presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Peugeot Expert Professional L1 Bluehdi tested had covered 61,327 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Peugeot Expert Professional L1 Bluehdi sits 9.3 points above the national average, ranked 1,168 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
