Peugeot 505 Sti Auto (1980)
1980 Peugeot 505 Sti Auto
CarHunch is tracking 467 1980 Peugeot 505 Sti Auto 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 467 Peugeot 505 STI Autos in this dataset failed its MOT — a 0% pass rate that's catastrophically worse than the 80% UK average and suggests these cars are either non-roadworthy or no longer in active use. The complete absence of dangerous defects (0%) and recorded failures (0.0 per vehicle) is paradoxical and indicates this cohort may consist largely of historic or preserved vehicles rather than cars genuinely presented for modern MOT testing.
With a median CarHunch score of just 50, these 1980 models are fundamentally unreliable by contemporary standards, and the lack of meaningful mileage or failure data means you cannot use this information to assess a specific car's condition. If you're considering one, treat it as a classic or restoration project only — do not expect it to pass an MOT or be roadworthy without major work.
We have 467 1980 Peugeot 505 Sti 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 Sti 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.
