Peugeot 504 D (1982)
1982 Peugeot 504 D
CarHunch is tracking 684 1982 Peugeot 504 D vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1982 Peugeot 504 D has a 0% first-time pass rate across 684 vehicles analysed—a catastrophic result against the UK average of 80%—which means every single example tested failed its MOT. The diesel variants, which make up 97% of this cohort, fared no better at 0%, and there were no dangerous defects recorded, suggesting the failures stem from wear and mechanical issues rather than safety-critical faults.
With a median CarHunch score of just 50, these vehicles are at the absolute bottom of the reliability spectrum, and the absence of mileage data makes it impossible to assess whether this reflects normal age-related decline or systematic problems with the model. If you're considering a 1982 504 D, expect serious remedial work before it will pass MOT—this is a restoration project, not a functional daily driver.
We have 684 1982 Peugeot 504 D 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 1982 Peugeot 504 D
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.
