Peugeot 104 Zr (1983)
1983 Peugeot 104 Zr
CarHunch is tracking 191 1983 Peugeot 104 Zr vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1983 Peugeot 104 ZR has a 0% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%—every single vehicle in this cohort of 191 cars failed its MOT, which is an unambiguous reliability red flag. However, the complete absence of dangerous defects (0%) is a small mercy, suggesting safety-critical systems aren't uniformly catastrophic across the sample.
The zero average failures and advisories recorded is a data anomaly that suggests these vehicles either failed on severe, uncategorised issues or the MOT records are incomplete for this older cohort. If you're considering one of these 40-year-old Peugeots as a collector's piece or restoration project rather than daily transport, commission a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in classic French cars before committing any money.
We have 191 1983 Peugeot 104 Zr vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1983 Peugeot 104 Zr
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
