Peugeot Vivacity 50 (2004)
2004 Peugeot Vivacity 50
CarHunch is tracking 179 2004 Peugeot Vivacity 50 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2004 Peugeot Vivacity 50 is a concerning proposition—only 40% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and the petrol-only examples in this dataset show a 0% pass rate, suggesting chronic reliability issues. No dangerous defects were recorded, which is the only bright spot, but the fundamental problem remains: these scooters fail MOT at double the national rate.
The average mileage of 17,213 miles is reasonable for a 20-year-old machine, yet vehicles are still racking up failures (averaging 0.01 per vehicle) and struggling to meet emissions standards. If you're considering one, budget for immediate remedial work and find an independent mechanic familiar with aging Peugeot scooters before you buy—the MOT data suggests you'll need one either way.
We have 179 2004 Peugeot Vivacity 50 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2004 Peugeot Vivacity 50
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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
