Peugeot 205 Gld (1991)
1991 Peugeot 205 Gld
CarHunch is tracking 1,564 1991 Peugeot 205 Gld vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Peugeot 205 GLD has a 0% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, which is an absolute red flag—not a single one of the 1,564 vehicles tested passed their MOT first time. The entire cohort is diesel, and every diesel variant failed, meaning this model year has systemic reliability problems that affect the entire range.
With a median CarHunch score of just 50 out of 100 and no recorded dangerous defects in the dataset, these cars are aging out of safe use rather than suffering from acute safety issues. If you're considering one, factor in immediate and repeated MOT failures as the cost of ownership, and have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist diesel mechanic who knows the 205's common weak points.
We have 1,564 1991 Peugeot 205 Gld 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 1991 Peugeot 205 Gld
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.
