Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2017 model has the highest pass rate at 76% from 327 tests. The 2015 model has the lowest at 70%. The 6 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2012) averages 197,922 miles, while the newest (2018) averages 158,589 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Peugeot brand average of 83%, the Premier is 11 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Peugeot models.
