The 2014 Peugeot Premier falls well short of the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 73.6% against the national 80%—a meaningful reliability gap. More concerning is that 35.1% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above acceptable thresholds and a serious buyer warning sign.

These cars are averaging 143,333 miles, which is typical for their age, but the real story is in the failure pattern: 3.4 failures per vehicle combined with 13.7 advisories suggests systemic wear rather than isolated issues. If you're considering one, budget for remedial work before purchase and have an independent inspection focus on braking, suspension, and lighting systems.
