Peugeot 405 Gtx Injection (1989)
1989 Peugeot 405 Gtx Injection
CarHunch is tracking 1,702 1989 Peugeot 405 Gtx Injection vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
**This 1989 Peugeot 405 GTX Injection has a 0% first-time pass rate among the 1,702 vehicles tested — far below the UK average of 80% — which is a serious red flag for any potential buyer. None of the petrol models in this cohort passed their MOT on the first attempt, indicating systematic reliability problems across the board.**
**At 35 years old, these cars are hitting the end of their natural life, and the complete absence of passing vehicles suggests most surviving examples are either heavily modified, kept off the road, or simply not representative of typical road use. If you're considering one, factor in immediate and ongoing repair costs; this isn't a car to buy on sentiment alone without a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in classic Peugeots.**
We have 1,702 1989 Peugeot 405 Gtx Injection 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 1989 Peugeot 405 Gtx Injection
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.
