Peugeot Speedfight (2016)
2016 Peugeot Speedfight
CarHunch analysed 457 real MOT records for the 2016 Peugeot Speedfight. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Peugeot Speedfight has a first-time pass rate of 78.6%, fractionally below the UK average of 80%, which suggests broadly average reliability for a scooter of this age. However, the genuinely concerning figure is that 41.6% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—nearly twice the typical threshold—making this a real consideration if you're buying used.
At a median mileage of 7,933 miles for an eight-year-old machine, these Speedfights have been ridden lightly, which should work in your favour. The average vehicle racks up 1.05 failures and 4.4 advisories per test, suggesting wear items and minor issues are fairly common; before buying, request the full MOT history and have a mechanic inspect the braking and suspension systems, where the dangerous defects are likely clustering.
What to check before buying a 2016 Peugeot Speedfight
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.
- ⚠️ 41.6% 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.
