2016 PEUGEOT PARTNER1.6L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a clean pass in the March 2026 test at 78,800 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive upkeep rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent record shows no defects, the May 2025 test at 76,118 miles involved a failure and subsequent retest that addressed multiple issues, including a damaged track rod end dust cover, inoperative lighting, and four tyres worn close to the legal limit. This pattern suggests the previous owner tended to address faults only when they reached the point of MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical light-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,880 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. The data shows steady progression from 34,638 miles in April 2019 to the current 78,800 miles in March 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, which indicates the vehicle has been used regularly and subjected to annual inspections. The steady increase in mileage suggests the mechanical wear on components should be proportional to the age of the vehicle. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and steering components. The May 2025 failure regarding a damaged nearside front track rod end dust cover indicates that rubber components and steering joints are subject to wear. While this specific fault was cleared, the recurring mention of tyres being worn on the edges in both 2021 and 2025 may point to underlying alignment issues or suspension bushing wear. The lighting and visibility history also warrants a physical check. The record shows several instances of inoperative lamps and discoloured indicators, alongside a damaged windscreen noted in 2025. Although the March 2026 test was clear, inspecting the condition of all exterior light housings and the integrity of the windscreen is advisable. Checking the condition of the tyres and ensuring even tread wear will confirm if the previous alignment issues have been fully resolved.
