Peugeot 304 Sl (1980)
1980 Peugeot 304 Sl
CarHunch is tracking 549 1980 Peugeot 304 Sl vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 549 Peugeot 304 SLs in this dataset failed its MOT on first attempt—a stark contrast to the 80% UK average pass rate. None of these vehicles recorded any failures, advisories, or dangerous defects in the data, which suggests these cars are either no longer roadworthy enough to test or the records are incomplete.
The absence of mileage data and zero measurable defects point to a fundamental problem: these 1980 models are simply too old and rare to yield reliable MOT insight. If you're genuinely considering a 304 SL, have a specialist pre-purchase inspection done rather than relying on MOT history—at 44 years old, condition varies wildly between survivors.
We have 549 1980 Peugeot 304 Sl 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 1980 Peugeot 304 Sl
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.
