# 1995 Peugeot 405 Executive TD
The 50% first-time pass rate for this 1995 diesel 405 is a stark 30 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, signalling reliability troubles that prospective buyers should take seriously. The complete absence of dangerous defects recorded across the 298 vehicles analysed is encouraging, but the sheer scale of the pass rate shortfall suggests these cars face widespread minor and major issues that accumulate across multiple test attempts.
At 174,457 miles median mileage, these surviving examples are genuinely high-mileage cars for their age, which partly explains the testing struggles—but not enough to excuse a 50% pass rate. The fact that there are zero recorded failures or advisories per vehicle on average is a statistical anomaly that likely reflects either incomplete data capture or vehicles failing on different defects rather than the same recurring problems; before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on the fuel system, clutch, and exhaust emissions equipment, as these are where ageing diesels typically stumble.
We have 298 1995 Peugeot 405 Executive 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 405 Executive 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.
