2004 Peugeot Xp

CarHunch analysed 135 real MOT records for the 2004 Peugeot Xp. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2004 Peugeot XP has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 66.9%—well below the UK average of 80%—and nearly a quarter of vehicles (23.7%) have recorded at least one dangerous defect, which is a genuine safety concern for buyers. Expect this scooter to need meaningful work to pass its annual test.

With a median mileage of only 14,311 miles for a 20-year-old machine, these are lightly-used examples, yet they still average 1.73 failures and 4.8 advisories per MOT, pointing to age-related wear rather than hard riding. Before purchasing, have an independent inspection focus on brakes, lights, and structural integrity—the high dangerous defect rate suggests these are where problems cluster.

What to check before buying a 2004 Peugeot Xp

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.
  • ⚠️ 23.7% 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.
