The Peugeot iOn's electric powertrain is generally robust, but three issues dominate replacement enquiries: Motor Control Unit (MCU) failure on 2011-2012 models, Transmission Control Unit (TCU) faults causing grinding or limp mode, and high-voltage errors often triggered by the 12V auxiliary battery.

Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic & Software Reset - Check for fault codes and attempt reprogramming | £150 - £300 | £95 - £200 | OBD2 diagnostic scan, software update attempt | Only viable if failure is software-related; temporary fix for hardware faults |
| MCU Replacement - Reconditioned Unit - Swap faulty control module | £1,200 - £2,000 | £600 - £1,200 | Remove old MCU, install tested reconditioned unit with updated firmware | Restores full function; 12-month warranty covers recurrence |
| Full Drive Unit Replacement - Motor + MCU assembly | £2,500 - £4,000 | £1,500 - £2,500 | Replace entire electric motor and control unit assembly | Most comprehensive solution; recommended for high-mileage vehicles |
Our recommendation
For 2011-2012 iOn models showing MCU-related faults, a reconditioned MCU replacement offers the best value. Given the iOn's low residual value (£2,000-£3,500), spending over £1,500 on repairs warrants careful consideration against vehicle worth.
