1983 Peugeot 504 2.0L Petrol · 414 XYC

The Peugeot 504 presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test. In the July 2023 examination at 67,099 miles the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the two available records, with the February 2022 test at 67,097 miles also returning a clean pass. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in either entry. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 43-year-old vehicle. Between February 2022 and July 2023 the odometer advanced only two miles, from 67,097 to 67,099. Over its lifespan the car averaged roughly 1,560 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests prolonged periods of storage rather than daily driving, though the sparse two-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion in person. Long standing periods invite moisture retention in sills, chassis rails, and floor pans even when MOT tests show no recorded defects. The absence of suspension or brake advisories in the records does not rule out perished rubber bushes or seized calipers after years of inactivity. Verify the brake discs, flexible hoses, and exhaust system for age-related degradation during a physical viewing. The clean MOT trail implies prior owners addressed statutory requirements, but the two-mile annual movement means mechanical components may have aged without wearing normally. A pre-purchase inspection beneath the vehicle remains essential.
