Peugeot 505 Sr Auto (1980)
1980 Peugeot 505 Sr Auto
CarHunch is tracking 459 1980 Peugeot 505 Sr Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1980 Peugeot 505 is effectively unregistered for MOT purposes — all 459 vehicles in our dataset show a 0% pass rate, meaning none are currently road-legal or regularly tested. That's a stark contrast to the 80% UK average, but it reflects the reality that a car this age (44 years old) has almost certainly been off the road, preserved as a classic, or scrapped rather than in active use.
With no recorded mileage data, failure metrics, or dangerous defects in the cohort, these cars aren't failing MOTs — they've simply exited the testing cycle entirely. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration or classic car project rather than a practical daily driver, and budget for a full mechanical inspection and likely significant work to bring it back to roadworthiness.
We have 459 1980 Peugeot 505 Sr 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 1980 Peugeot 505 Sr 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.
