Is the Peugeot fleet shrinking?

Adding up every published Peugeot model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 2,031,894 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 1,661,957 in 2026 Q1, down 18%. That is down 4% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 266,752 are declared SORN — 1 in 7 of the 1,928,709 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

Peugeot MOT pass rate

In 2024, 65.3% of 1,175,968 Peugeot MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.

The items most often behind a first-test failure across published Peugeot model groups:

  • Transmission — 4.2% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Headlamp Aim — 4.1% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Exhaust Emissions — 3.4% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Position Lamps — 3.3% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.

How to read these numbers

Licensed means taxed and legal to use on the road at the end of the quarter. SORN means the keeper has declared it off the road — it still exists, but it is not in use. A model group's total is the best available proxy for how many survive, and a shrinking one means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply.
