Peugeot 405 Hunter (1993)
1993 Peugeot 405 Hunter
CarHunch is tracking 331 1993 Peugeot 405 Hunter vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1993 Peugeot 405 Hunter has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 30%, far below the UK average of 80%, making it a genuinely unreliable proposition for buyers. The good news is that no vehicles in this sample have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety failures aren't the issue here—this is about chronic minor problems that repeatedly trip up the test.
At 163,500 miles median mileage, these are heavily used survivors, yet the zero average failures and advisories per vehicle is puzzling given the low pass rate, suggesting the test failures are scattered across many different fault categories rather than concentrated issues. If you're considering one of these, budget for multiple MOT attempts and have a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic familiar with 1990s Peugeots, because the numbers say this car will fight you every year it's on the road.
We have 331 1993 Peugeot 405 Hunter vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1993 Peugeot 405 Hunter
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.
