Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2016 Peugeot Elddis?

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.

This 2016 Peugeot Elddis is a notably reliable proposition, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 92.1% well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects appearing in just 2.3% of vehicles—a reassuringly low figure. The median mileage of 14,060 is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, suggesting these are lightly used motorhomes or specialist vehicles that haven't endured typical wear and tear.

When failures do occur, they're typically minor: the average vehicle racks up just 0.68 failures and 1.6 advisories per test, pointing to well-maintained examples where problems are caught early and don't escalate. Before committing to a purchase, request the full MOT history to confirm this pattern holds for your specific example, since low average mileage can mask long periods of storage that sometimes cause hidden issues.
