Peugeot 205 Td (1995)
1995 Peugeot 205 Td
CarHunch is tracking 145 1995 Peugeot 205 Td vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1995 Peugeot 205 TD is in serious trouble on the road—just 30% pass MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, which signals consistent mechanical issues that buyers should treat as a major red flag. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, so safety failures aren't the primary concern.
At 145,000 miles these cars are predictably aged, yet the remarkable finding is that when failures do occur, they're rare (0.01 per vehicle) and advisories are virtually absent. This suggests that when a 205 TD fails its MOT, it's usually for one significant problem rather than a cascade of wear items—but the 70% failure rate means you're very likely to encounter that problem, so budget for repairs before buying and have a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist.
We have 145 1995 Peugeot 205 Td vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1995 Peugeot 205 Td
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.
