Reliability

Known for its ruggedness, the Peugeot 504 can handle high mileage with proper maintenance. The engine and suspension are particularly durable, but electrical issues can arise with age. Regular upkeep is essential to maintain its reliability.

Maintenance

The 504's simplicity makes it relatively easy to maintain, with many mechanics familiar with its workings. Service intervals should be adhered to, especially for oil changes. Parts are generally affordable, though some components may require sourcing from specialty dealers or importers.

Parts availability

Parts for the Peugeot 504 are moderately available in Kenya, with Nairobi's Kirinyaga Road and Grogan areas being good sources. Some parts may need to be imported, but the vehicle's popularity ensures a reasonable supply of both genuine and aftermarket options.

Fuel economy

The petrol engine, while not the most frugal option, offers decent fuel economy on highways but can be thirsty in urban traffic. Expect moderate consumption given the vehicle's age and engine design.
