Peugeot Bailey (2020)
2020 Peugeot Bailey
CarHunch analysed 116 real MOT records for the 2020 Peugeot Bailey. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Peugeot Baileys on test are genuinely reliable: a 91.3% first-time pass rate sits well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are almost nonexistent at just 0.9% of the cohort. This is a car that's unlikely to surprise you with serious safety issues.
At only 9,856 miles average for a four-year-old model, these are light-use vehicles, which explains the strong pass performance—but it also means real-world durability remains unproven on higher mileage examples. With just 0.36 failures and 0.5 advisories per vehicle on average, running costs look modest; when you're shopping, prioritise a full service history and get any specific advisories checked by a Peugeot specialist before committing.
What to check before buying a 2020 Peugeot Bailey
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
