If a Peugeot 207 fails, does it fail again?

49.5% of Peugeot 207s that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 40.9% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 107,734). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 44.7% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Peugeot 207 cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Peugeot 207s tested at age 10, about 34 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 11 and 12, 3.19 percentage points (2024).
