Peugeot 505 Sr (1983)
1983 Peugeot 505 Sr
CarHunch is tracking 184 1983 Peugeot 505 Sr 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 184 Peugeot 505 SRs tested failed its MOT first time—a stark 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%—yet mysteriously recorded zero failures and zero advisories per vehicle, which is logically impossible and suggests these records are corrupted or incomplete. This data is unusable for making any real assessment of the 505 SR's reliability.
Without valid failure records, mileage history, or genuine test outcomes, you cannot rely on these statistics to evaluate whether a 505 SR is roadworthy. If you're considering one of these 1983 models, get a pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic familiar with 40-year-old Peugeots rather than trusting this dataset.
We have 184 1983 Peugeot 505 Sr 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 1983 Peugeot 505 Sr
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.
