Moderate sample. 337 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2002 Peugeot Elyseo passes its MOT first time at 82.4%, fractionally above the UK average of 80%, suggesting broadly average reliability for a 22-year-old scooter. The dangerous defect rate of 13.1% is acceptable and not a major concern for buyers, though it warrants a pre-purchase inspection.
These machines show a median mileage of just 13,555 miles, which is notably low for their age and suggests many have been lightly used or stored—a good sign for potential longevity. When failures do occur, they're relatively minor (1.16 failures per vehicle on average), but advisories are frequent at 3.8 per vehicle, indicating wear in non-critical areas that you should budget to address gradually rather than all at once.
The 2002 Peugeot Elyseo passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (82.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 337 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
