Cooling fan running after switch-off, rising fuel use, reduced power, frequent warning lights, or an engine that feels like it is trying to regenerate often.

£800
A noticeable kick between low gears, hesitation pulling away, or a lurch as the car slows to a stop.
Pull away gently several times from cold, then crawl in traffic speed and slow to a stop without braking sharply.

It can be, but only if the individual car backs it up. For the 2018–2025 Peugeot Rifter, treat model-level patterns as viewing priorities and let condition, history and inspection evidence decide.
The problem cards above list the model-level checks for this guide. Read them as priorities for inspection and paperwork review, not proof that every example will have those faults.
Look for evidence, not just assurances: MOT advisories, service history, repair invoices, warning lights, fluid leaks, tyre and brake condition, and how the car behaves on a proper test drive. And of course, look at your personalised Should I Buy This Car? report, outlining a full list of common issues in detail, a personalised road test, a plain-English explanation and a MotorIQ score.
The guide above gives you the model-level pattern. A personalised MotorIQ report checks the registration-specific record and turns it into an ownership view before you commit.
