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 LOOXOR beats 4 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 LOOXOR.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2005 (82.5% pass). Weakest: 2001 (74.0%).

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 LOOXOR FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

Is the PEUGEOT LOOXOR reliable?

The PEUGEOT LOOXOR is more reliable than average for its class: 77.1% of its 4,487 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 73.4%. That ranks it #4044 of 5426 models.

What does a LOOXOR fail its MOT on most?

brakes — 31% of all defects recorded against failed LOOXOR tests.

What is the best year of LOOXOR to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2005-registered examples do best (82.5%) and 2001 worst (74.0%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a LOOXOR last?

The median LOOXOR shows 11,157 miles at test, and examples around 40k miles still pass 59.7% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
