Peugeot Tweet (2019)
2019 Peugeot Tweet
CarHunch analysed 130 real MOT records for the 2019 Peugeot Tweet. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Peugeot Tweet just edges past the UK average with an 82.6% pass rate, though its 21.5% dangerous defect rate is notably high — nearly one in five vehicles have recorded a serious fault at some point, which is a genuine buyer concern. Petrol and diesel breakdowns aren't available for this model, so you're looking at a fairly mixed picture of reliability.
These cars are running exceptionally low mileage for their age at just 9,698 miles median, which actually masks how they'll perform as they accumulate real-world use — the 0.72 average failures and 2.4 advisories per test suggest minor issues crop up regularly rather than major structural problems. Before committing, get a full service history and have a trusted mechanic inspect any used example thoroughly, given that one-fifth of the fleet has already encountered dangerous defects.
What to check before buying a 2019 Peugeot Tweet
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.
- ⚠️ 21.5% 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.
