Peugeot Satelis (2007)

110 real MOT outcomes analysed • 83.1% first-time pass rate

2007 Peugeot Satelis

CarHunch analysed 110 real MOT records for the 2007 Peugeot Satelis. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2007 Peugeot Satelis passes its MOT slightly better than the UK average—83.1% versus 80%—but nearly three in ten have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is well above acceptable and a genuine buyer concern. Petrol and diesel breakdowns aren't available here, so treat that pass rate as a whole-cohort picture rather than a reassurance.

These scooters are typically ridden at modest mileage (median 13,579 miles for their age), yet they still accumulate an average of 1.35 failures and 4.6 advisories per test, suggesting age-related wear is catching up despite light use. Before buying, ask the seller for full MOT history and specifically check whether the bike has ever failed for brakes, tyres, or lighting—the most common defect categories for this model—because a low mileage alone won't protect you from a poorly maintained example.

What to check before buying a 2007 Peugeot Satelis

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.
  • ⚠️ 27.3% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
