2021 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · NV21 ADZ

This Peugeot Partner has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 20 February 2026 at 69,660 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring or critical mechanical issues during the past 16 months of service. However, the most recent test was conducted just five months ago, which is acceptable but not optimal—an MOT every 12 months is the standard, and this slight delay could indicate either a minor oversight or a deliberate deferral. The lack of any advisory notes also implies that no components requiring attention were overlooked by the tester, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 69,660 miles over five years—approximately 13,932 miles annually—is significantly higher than the average for a vehicle of this age, which typically accumulates around 8,000–10,000 miles per year. The gap between tests, from 61,855 miles in January 2025 to 69,660 miles in February 2026, represents roughly 7,805 miles in a year, suggesting a period of increased usage. While this is not inherently alarming, it does imply accelerated wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake pads, and drivetrain fluids. The absence of any MOT failings during this period does not negate the need for proactive checks, as some wear may not yet be detectable visually or through a basic test. Given the high mileage and the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear wheel bearings and bushes, which are prone to failure at this mileage. The brakes should be closely examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs, as these issues often develop gradually without immediate MOT failings. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis and sills should be assessed for signs of corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the rear axle, where moisture accumulation is common. The tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be verified, as failing twice on this criterion in previous tests would suggest basic upkeep may have been neglected. Finally, the service history for fluid changes—engine oil, gearbox oil, and brake fluid—should be scrutinised, as these are critical to preventing long-term mechanical degradation.
