2021 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · SH21 OJK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 9 April 2026 with no recorded defects, suggesting it is currently in a roadworthy condition. However, a review of the historical data indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The 2024 and 2025 failures for basic consumables, specifically windscreen wipers and dangerously worn brake pads, suggest that essential wear and tear items were neglected until the point of legal failure. While the most recent clean sheet is positive, the overall trend suggests a history of minimal upkeep. With 76,782 miles recorded over approximately five years, this vehicle has covered an average of 15,356 miles per year. This is considered high usage for this class of vehicle, implying significant operational stress on the drivetrain and chassis. Prospective buyers should be aware that such mileage typically accelerates the degradation of suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts, and increases the likelihood of oil leaks or turbocharger wear if service intervals were not strictly adhered to. Given the previous dangerous failure regarding brake pad thickness, it is imperative to inspect the current state of the braking system. During a test drive, feel for any brake shudder or uneven pedal pressure, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Check the inner rims for excessive brake dust, which often signals uneven pad wear. Additionally, the recurring windscreen damage noted in previous years should be examined closely to ensure that old chips have not developed into structural cracks that could fail a future inspection. Due to the high annual mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage is recommended to identify any signs of corrosion or perished suspension components. Listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, as this often indicates worn drop links or bushings. Verify the service history to ensure that calendar based fluid changes and timing belt intervals have been met, as high mileage commercial vehicles are often pushed to their limits. Finally, confirm that the previously reported TPMS light issue has been permanently resolved and is not merely suppressed.
