2010 Peugeot 407 MOT pass rate: 63.7% (3,379 tests)
Is the 2010 407 getting worse?
Pass rate of 2010-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 64.9% -3.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 62.8% -4.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 63.1% -3.8 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.
