Peugeot 405 Mi 16v (1991)
1991 Peugeot 405 Mi 16v
CarHunch is tracking 329 1991 Peugeot 405 Mi 16v vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
**This 1991 Peugeot 405 MI 16V has a 0% first-time MOT pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—every single one of the 329 vehicles tested failed its MOT. There are no recorded dangerous defects in the dataset, but the universal failure rate suggests these cars face systematic issues that need addressing before they can legally return to the road.**
**With zero failures and advisories recorded on average, the data appears incomplete or inconsistent with the 0% pass rate, making it difficult to pinpoint exactly what's failing these vehicles. Before considering one of these cars, seek a pre-purchase inspection from a specialist mechanic to identify the specific defects preventing MOT compliance, as the 33-year age means structural and mechanical wear is likely severe.**
We have 329 1991 Peugeot 405 Mi 16v 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 1991 Peugeot 405 Mi 16v
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.
