Peugeot 505 Grd Family (1986)
1986 Peugeot 505 Grd Family
CarHunch is tracking 380 1986 Peugeot 505 Grd Family vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1986 Peugeot 505 GRD Family has a 0% first-time pass rate—far below the UK average of 80%—which is a critical red flag for any potential buyer. The diesel variant (which makes up 377 of the 380 vehicles analysed) shows the same 0% pass rate, meaning none of these cars are clearing their MOT on the first attempt.
The complete absence of recorded failures, advisories, and dangerous defects in this dataset suggests these vehicles are simply not being presented for MOT testing anymore; at 38 years old, most surviving examples are either off the road, registered as historic vehicles exempt from MOT, or no longer in active use. If you're considering purchasing a 505 from this era, treat any passing MOT as a bonus rather than an expectation, and have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly before purchase, as these cars are now collector's items rather than everyday transport.
We have 380 1986 Peugeot 505 Grd Family 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 1986 Peugeot 505 Grd Family
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.
