2012 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · N300 SPL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the Peugeot Partner passed four consecutive tests between 2021 and 2024 without any defects, the July 2025 test at 89,712 miles revealed several immediate areas of concern. The presence of thin front brake pads, worn front tyres with uneven wear, and a nail in the offside rear tyre suggests that routine consumable replacements have recently been neglected despite the previous years of clean records. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 82,769 miles and the 2025 test at 89,712 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 7,000 miles. This steady rate of accumulation generally limits the stress on the drivetrain and structural components, but the sudden appearance of multiple faults in the latest entry indicates that the owner may only be addressing issues when they trigger an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. A buyer should physically inspect the front braking system to ensure the thin pads identified in 2025 have been replaced and that the discs are not scored or thinned. The uneven wear on the front tyre outer shoulders suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be checked to prevent rapid further tyre degradation. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the lower sills is also necessary, although the MOT history does not flag any structural integrity failures to date.
