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 TREKKER 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 TREKKER.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2000 (71.7% pass). Weakest: 2006 (62.5%).

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 TREKKER FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

Is the PEUGEOT TREKKER reliable?

The PEUGEOT TREKKER is less reliable than average for its class: 68.8% of its 9,726 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 73.4%. That ranks it #4806 of 5426 models.

What does a TREKKER fail its MOT on most?

lighting and signalling — 37% of all defects recorded against failed TREKKER tests.

What is the best year of TREKKER to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2000-registered examples do best (71.7%) and 2006 worst (62.5%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a TREKKER last?

The median TREKKER shows 13,686 miles at test, and examples around 40k miles still pass 60.5% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
