The Peugeot Rifter, introduced in 2018, is a compact MPV designed to cater to families and active lifestyles, offering versatility and practicality. Combining functionality with a modern design, it has gained attention for its spacious interior and user-friendly features. However, as with any vehicle, understanding its reliability through MOT inspection data provides valuable insight for potential buyers.

When examining the reliability of the Peugeot Rifter across its initial years, the data reveals a mixed performance compared to the average car from the same period.

The recurring issues for the Rifter largely involve common concerns that are not exclusive to this model, such as tyre tread depth, brake wear, and the condition of wiper blades. The data indicates that problems with tyre integrity and brake components were prevalent across all years, although these issues are typical across many vehicles. The Rifter showed a gradual improvement by 2022, with defects dropping to 75 per 100 tests, slightly above the average of 70, indicating a move towards better reliability.
