Peugeot 504 D (1984)
1984 Peugeot 504 D
CarHunch is tracking 1,887 1984 Peugeot 504 D vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1984 Peugeot 504 D has a 0% first-time pass rate compared to the UK average of 80%, which is a stark indicator that these vehicles are extremely challenging to keep roadworthy to modern MOT standards. With zero dangerous defects recorded across 1,887 analysed examples, the issue isn't safety hazards but rather cumulative wear and obsolescence—40-year-old engineering simply struggles with contemporary emissions and structural requirements.
The absence of mileage data and failure statistics suggests most of these cars are either rarely tested or have been comprehensively restored before testing, masking the true condition of typical examples you'd encounter. If you're considering one, treat it as a specialist's project rather than everyday transport—budget heavily for specialist diesel work and expect MOT prep to be a regular, expensive cycle.
We have 1,887 1984 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 1984 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.
