Our Verdict
A rare historical curiosity intended for dedicated collectors rather than a practical buyer. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the extreme age and niche engine configuration mean this vehicle should be approached with significant financial caution.
When purchasing a vehicle from 1932, the priority must be the quality of the restoration and the authenticity of parts. You should ask for a detailed documented history of how the car has been maintained over the last several decades. Given the 50cc engine size, ensure you have a specialist mechanic available, as parts for such a unique configuration will be difficult to source.
Negotiate based on the state of the mechanical components and the integrity of the chassis. Look for signs of hidden rust, which is the primary enemy of vehicles of this era. Ensure the registration WXS257 is correctly associated with the chassis number to verify its provenance and age.
Running costs for this vehicle are likely low in terms of fuel but extremely high in terms of maintenance. The 50cc engine will consume very little petrol, and road tax for a vehicle of this age is often nominal or zero, but insurance will require a specialist classic car policy.
Maintenance will be expensive because any repairs will likely require bespoke fabrication or rare sourcing. Expect the annual running cost to be dominated not by fuel, but by the occasional cost of keeping a 90-year-old machine operational and compliant.
Focus heavily on the chassis and bodywork for corrosion, as steel components from 1932 are prone to structural weakness if not stored perfectly. Inspect the 50cc engine for signs of oil leaks and internal wear, as small engines of this era can be under significant stress.
Review the MOT history from November 2023 to see what advisories were given. Even if it passed, advisories regarding braking, lighting, or structural integrity will indicate how much immediate investment is required to keep the car safe on British roads.
This 1932 Peugeot Modele Luxe P50T is an exceptionally rare example of pre-war automotive history. Given its age and the fact it passed an MOT in late 2023, it has been maintained to a roadworthy standard, though the unique 50cc engine designation suggests this is likely a micro-car or a specific variant that represents a collector piece rather than daily transport.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model, but pre-war vehicles generally require frequent specialist mechanical attention.
