Peugeot 504 Gr (1982)
1982 Peugeot 504 Gr
CarHunch is tracking 200 1982 Peugeot 504 Gr vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 200 Peugeot 504 GRs tested failed their MOT first time—a stark contrast to the UK average of 80% pass rate. With zero dangerous defects recorded and negligible failures or advisories per vehicle, the issue isn't safety or mechanical decay; these are simply cars that haven't been properly maintained or registered for testing in decades.
This cohort represents the tail end of a 42-year-old model, and the complete failure rate almost certainly reflects that these vehicles are either non-functional, unregistered, or held by collectors rather than active drivers. If you're considering a 504 GR, expect to budget heavily for comprehensive mechanical work before it will pass an MOT—treat any purchase as a restoration project, not a usable car.
We have 200 1982 Peugeot 504 Gr 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 Gr
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.
