2016 Peugeot Partner 625 S L1 HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · RA65 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 31 August 2021 at 35,183 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry available, now over four and a half years old, meaning the car currently holds no valid certificate and requires a fresh test before any road use. The trajectory from 2019 through 2021 shows a clear resolution of earlier minor faults, with the last three consecutive tests all passing without advisories or failures. The mileage pattern is notably flat. Between the January 2019 test at 24,659 miles and the August 2021 pass at 35,183 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,500 miles over two and a half years, then recorded no further MOT-mileage increase through June 2026. This suggests either very light recent use or a prolonged period of standing. Low annual mileage of around 3,500 miles across the vehicle's life reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but extended sitting carries its own risks, including brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and fuel system degradation in the HDI diesel engine. Buyers should focus a physical inspection on the braking system, given the 2019 failure for worn offside front brake pads and a separate advisory for a worn front tyre edge. Check the condition of all brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing periods, and verify that the handbrake mechanism on the rear calipers has not seized. Inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and uneven wear, particularly the nearside and offside fronts, which have historically drawn attention. Examine the underside for structural corrosion on the chassis rails, subframe mounting points, and suspension bushes, as these light-commercial vehicles can suffer from rust even at low mileage. Assess the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration and confirm the diesel particulate filter and emissions system are functioning correctly, as short-trip use can accelerate soot buildup in the HDI engine.
