Peugeot Tweet (2011)
2011 Peugeot Tweet
CarHunch analysed 120 real MOT records for the 2011 Peugeot Tweet. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Peugeot Tweet passes its MOT slightly above the UK average at 84.2%, which is a good sign, though one in five have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—worth a pre-purchase inspection to catch any lurking issues. These are genuinely low-mileage cars, averaging just 15,108 miles for a 13-year-old vehicle, suggesting they've mostly been used as urban runabouts rather than daily commuters.
With fewer than one failure per vehicle on average but 3.1 advisories per car, the Tweet tends to develop minor wear items rather than structural problems. Before buying, ask the seller for full service history and request a mechanic checks the suspension and brake components specifically, as these typically accumulate the advisory flags on this model.

- 🔍 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.
