Peugeot Traveller: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Peugeot Traveller passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 3.8 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 1,215 individual Peugeot Traveller tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

First-time pass rate80.5%
UK national average76.7%
Difference+3.8 points
Tests analysed1,215
Average mileage at test60,241 miles
Average year of manufacture2018
Reliability rank1,421 of 2,005 models

What this means if you are buying one

A 80.5% first-time pass rate means roughly 20 in every 100 Peugeot Travellers 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 Traveller tested had covered 60,241 miles and was built around 2018.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Peugeot Traveller sits 3.8 points above the national average, ranked 1,421 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.

Looking at a specific Peugeot Traveller rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see recorded closing bids for damaged Peugeot Travellers at UK salvage auction.

Peugeot Traveller pass rate by model year

From its 2017 to its 2018 model year, the Peugeot Traveller's first-time pass rate has risen 0.2 points, from 81% to 81.2%, the usual pattern: a newer model year is a younger car today, so it fails less. First-time pass rate for each Peugeot Traveller year:
