2014 Peugeot Elddis — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 376 MOT tests, the 2014 Peugeot Elddis recorded a 90.7% pass rate. All cars of a similar age fail 18.4% of the time, so this is 9.1pp better than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, seat belts & restraints and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
Lighting & signalling dominates the failure mix at 9.0% of all tests — 6.4 points clear of seat belts & restraints, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are outline marker lamp, srs malfunction indicator lamp and headlamp aim — outline marker lamp alone was recorded 14 times.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 10.1% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 6.3% of tests failed in 2021 against 7.9% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2014 Elddis
On a 2014 Elddis, lighting & signalling is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 9.0% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Lighting & signalling (9.0% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Seat belts & restraints (2.7% of tests): Belt damage or faulty pretensioners — usually straightforward but safety-critical. Typical repair: £50–£300.
- Visibility (2.1% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
