Peugeot 605 Sri (1990)
1990 Peugeot 605 Sri
CarHunch is tracking 173 1990 Peugeot 605 Sri vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
There's no getting around this: the 1990 Peugeot 605 SRI has a 0% first-time MOT pass rate, versus the UK average of 80%, making it categorically unreliable by modern standards. With zero dangerous defects recorded and no failures or advisories logged in the dataset, the figures suggest these 173 vehicles have been withdrawn from regular testing—likely because they're no longer roadworthy or in use.
At 34 years old, any 605 SRI still on the road is a classic or restoration project rather than a practical daily driver. If you're considering one, treat it as a hobby purchase requiring a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist and budget heavily for overhaul work before it will pass an MOT.
We have 173 1990 Peugeot 605 Sri 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 1990 Peugeot 605 Sri
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.
