2010 Peugeot Expert MOT pass rate: 61.0% (6,037 tests)
Is the 2010 Expert getting worse?
Pass rate of 2010-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 62.1% -5.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 60.5% -6.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 60.3% -6.6 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.

What mileage is too high for a 2010 Expert?
