Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2017 Peugeot Auto Sleepers?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 188 vehicles, the 2017 Peugeot Auto Sleepers has a first-time MOT pass rate of 92.4%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

This 2017 Peugeot Auto-Sleepers is reliably passing its MOTs at 92.4%, well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are uncommon at just 5.3% of vehicles. That's a solid safety record suggesting this model holds up well to testing.

At 15,000 miles median (17,600 average), these are relatively low-mileage examples for a seven-year-old vehicle, which tracks with their good pass rate. The average of 0.59 failures per car is reassuring, though advisories at 1.6 per vehicle suggest minor wear accumulating — so budget for small maintenance items rather than major repairs when you buy one. Get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the habitation systems (water, electrics, and gas) specific to the auto-sleeper conversion, as standard MOT testing won't catch problems there.
