2007 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · YK57 CRF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 118,406 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside an offside front tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows a period of two clean MOT records in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or significant advisory status. At 118,406 miles over 19 years, the Peugeot Partner has averaged approximately 6,232 miles per year. This relatively low annual mileage is typical for an older commercial vehicle, yet the history reveals significant gaps in usage. There is a notable two-year gap between November 2021 and November 2021, during which the vehicle covered only 1,831 miles. Such long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion, which aligns with the fluid and wiper failures seen later in the record. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system and engine seals, as the history shows recurring issues with fluctuating brakes and oil leaks. The 2019 failure noted an excessive oil leak and seriously weakened front discs, while the 2026 advisory confirms that a non-excessive leak persists. Physical inspection should check the engine bay for signs of active weeping that could hide deeper gasket failures. Given the previous history of visible exhaust smoke and major leaks in 2019, the integrity of the particulate filter and exhaust manifold requires a close look to ensure no secondary damage is present.
