Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Peugeot Tweet?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

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.

We have limited data for the 2019 Peugeot Tweet — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these cars have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
