1987 Peugeot 504 2.3L Diesel · E626 YBH

The Peugeot 504 currently maintains a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT on 12 March 2025 at 21,582 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This performance indicates a stable and well-maintained vehicle, as the last four consecutive tests since November 2021 have all been completed without a single advisory or failure. The absence of recurring mechanical faults suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, albeit light, usage rather than neglect. The recorded mileage of 21,582 over a 39-year lifespan is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 553 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in usage, with 428 miles covered between November 2021 and March 2023, followed by 290 miles in the subsequent year and 208 miles in the most recent period. This consistent but minimal accumulation of mileage suggests the car has likely been kept as a collector piece or a weekend vehicle, avoiding the heavy wear typically associated with daily commuting. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is pristine, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes, coolant hoses, and brake lines, which can degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for hidden corrosion, as these areas are prone to oxidation in older French models. Finally, verify the condition of the fuel system and engine seals, as periods of standing can lead to fuel varnish and dried gaskets that may not be immediately apparent during a standard roadworthiness test.
