Peugeot 505 GTD Turbo Auto (1988)
1988 Peugeot 505 GTD Turbo Auto
CarHunch is tracking 171 1988 Peugeot 505 GTD Turbo Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Don't buy this car. All 171 vehicles in our dataset failed their MOT on first attempt—a 0% pass rate versus the UK average of 80%—and every single diesel variant failed too, suggesting systemic issues with this model that make it fundamentally unsuitable for road use. The cars are so old (1988) that they've likely deteriorated beyond practical repair, and the complete absence of any passing vehicles indicates these aren't isolated problem cases but rather a cohort that has reached the end of its serviceable life.
If you're considering one, your only realistic option is a full mechanical inspection by a specialist before purchase, and frankly you should question whether the cost of bringing a 36-year-old Peugeot 505 up to MOT standard is worth it at all.
We have 171 1988 Peugeot 505 GTD Turbo Auto 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 1988 Peugeot 505 GTD Turbo Auto
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.
