Peugeot Eurotaxi MOT Failures
An analysis of 5,144 real DVSA MOT tests on the Peugeot Eurotaxi — what fails, how often, and how that compares to every other car on UK roads.
Where the Peugeot Eurotaxi fails its MOT
The single biggest MOT failure point on the Peugeot Eurotaxi is emissions failure — this model is 54 times more likely to fail on this item than the average car on UK roads. That makes it a major concern for anyone buying or owning this model. Across 5,144 MOT tests, 1.7% of all Peugeot Eurotaxi tests recorded this as a failure.
Exhaust and emissions failures often point to catalytic converter degradation, lambda sensor faults, or — in diesel models — DPF problems. These can be expensive to fix and will cause an immediate MOT failure.
Other notable weak points include transmission joint, belt or chain worn (9.6x the fleet average), stop lamp with a multiple light source up to 1/... (5.7x the fleet average), transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot... (5.2x the fleet average), and engine mounting/bracket severely damaged or det... (5.2x the fleet average). These ratios compare the Peugeot Eurotaxi's failure rate on each item against the national average for all cars tested — a ratio of 10x means this model fails ten times more often than a typical car.
The failures span 3 categories: Exhaust & Emissions, Bodywork, Lights & Electrics. If you're inspecting a Peugeot Eurotaxi before purchase, these are the areas to focus on — and if any have been flagged as advisories on a previous MOT, they're likely to become failures in the near future.
