Defects recorded against failed normal tests, 2005–2025, grouped by DVSA inspection section. One test can record multiple defects. "vs all bikes" is how often this model's tests record a defect in the group, as a multiple of the all-bike rate.

How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the JETFORCE beats 2 of its 4 closest rivals (PEUGEOT SPEEDFIGHT, PIAGGIO ZIP, PIAGGIO NRG).

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the JETFORCE.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2003 (73.5% pass). Weakest: 2006 (65.5%).

First-time pass rate by the year each bike was first registered (cohorts with ≥ 50 tests). Older cohorts are survivors: the worst examples have already left the road, which tends to lift the earliest years.

PEUGEOT JETFORCE FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

What is the best year of JETFORCE to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2003-registered examples do best (73.5%) and 2006 worst (65.5%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a JETFORCE last?

The median JETFORCE shows 8,558 miles at test, and examples around 30k miles still pass 63.2% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
