Peugeot Metropolis 400 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Metropolis 400 is genuinely one of the more interesting three-wheelers out there, and used examples are decent value if you pick carefully. That Peugeot badge means parts availability is patchier than a Honda or Yamaha equivalent, so before you hand over cash, find out what your nearest dealer looks like. The triple-wheel setup gives you confidence in the wet that a conventional scooter simply can't match, and the 400cc twin puts out enough grunt for real-world commuting without feeling breathless on faster A-roads. The things that bite people on used examples are the CVT belt and the front suspension linkages. Both wear faster than you'd expect, and both are labour-intensive to sort. Check for any clunking over rough ground and insist on a recent belt change. The riding position is commanding and the storage is genuinely practical, but don't expect sports-bike handling dynamics — this is a commuter tool first and always. For the right buyer it makes solid sense. Just do your homework on service history and budget a few hundred for immediate maintenance.
