Insight summary

Peugeot Rifter is a rare model in this snapshot, with 8,000 represented vehicles and 0.02% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 84.2% from 35,879 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 46. The current pool shows an average of 34,310 miles and an average age of 5.4 years. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, brake pads and tyre condition. The practical read is that the Peugeot Rifter looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
