2020 Peugeot Rifter MOT pass rate: 87.3% (7,429 tests)
Is the 2020 Rifter getting worse?
Pass rate of 2020-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 89.3% -1.5 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 86.9% -3.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 85.8% -3.1 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 2020 Rifter?
