Peugeot 405 Style Diesel (1991)
1991 Peugeot 405 Style Diesel
CarHunch is tracking 1,598 1991 Peugeot 405 Style Diesel vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Peugeot 405 diesel is in serious trouble: only 10% pass their MOT on the first attempt, compared to the UK average of 80%, and virtually every example in this cohort is failing badly enough that it takes multiple attempts to get through. With zero dangerous defects recorded and zero average failures or advisories logged, the data itself appears corrupted or incomplete—these numbers don't align with real-world MOT patterns for 33-year-old vehicles, which makes any reliable conclusion impossible.
If you're genuinely considering a 1991 405 diesel, treat this data as unreliable and inspect any individual vehicle mechanically before purchase. At 158,625 miles median mileage, these cars are old and heavily used, so budget for serious restoration work regardless of what the incomplete statistics suggest.
We have 1,598 1991 Peugeot 405 Style Diesel vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1991 Peugeot 405 Style Diesel
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.
