Peugeot 405 Sri (1990)
1990 Peugeot 405 Sri
CarHunch is tracking 2,994 1990 Peugeot 405 Sri vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1990 Peugeot 405 SRI has a 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%, which means every single one of the 2,994 vehicles analysed failed its MOT—an alarming result that reflects the age and condition of surviving examples rather than inherent design flaws. None of these cars recorded dangerous defects, so while they're failing, the failures aren't safety-critical in nature.
These 405s are now 34 years old, and the zero pass rate simply reflects that almost no original 1990 examples remain in roadworthy condition; any you find will require significant work before passing an MOT. If you're considering one as a classic or restoration project, budget for comprehensive mechanical overhaul rather than expecting a quick fix, and use the low median Carhunch score of 50 as confirmation this is a project car, not a everyday purchase.
We have 2,994 1990 Peugeot 405 Sri 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 1990 Peugeot 405 Sri
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.
