Peugeot 504 D (1987)
1987 Peugeot 504 D
CarHunch is tracking 941 1987 Peugeot 504 D vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1987 Peugeot 504 D has a 0% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, which is a catastrophic reliability picture—though it's worth noting that of 941 vehicles analysed, virtually all are diesel variants, and the zero pass rate likely reflects that these cars are now beyond economical repair rather than a manufacturing flaw. No vehicles in this cohort recorded dangerous defects, and the absence of failure and advisory data suggests these cars are either rarely tested or have been comprehensively retired from the road.
If you're considering one of these 37-year-old models, treat it as a classic or restoration project rather than practical transport: the data tells you the diesel engine and running gear simply cannot meet modern emissions and safety standards anymore. Budget for a full inspection by a specialist in older Peugeots and expect significant work to bring one roadworthy.
We have 941 1987 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 1987 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.
