2021 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · BA66 AML

The 2026‑01‑15 MOT confirms the 2021 Peugeot Partner remains road‑worthy, but the test shows front and rear brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). This follows a 2025‑01‑10 test with no defects and a 2024‑04‑16 test that recorded rear brake pad wear and tyre edge wear, indicating a stable but ongoing wear trend rather than improvement. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 101,986 miles in April 2024 to 120,647 miles by January 2026, a gain of 18,661 miles in roughly 22 months, or about 24,000 miles per year. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests was nine months, while the interval to the 2026 test spanned twelve months, reflecting consistent high‑usage patterns and suggesting the owner has not observed long periods of inactivity. Recurring brake pad wear and tyre edge wear point to possible alignment or suspension issues, while the repeated thin‑pad findings imply that brake service intervals have been missed or that the pads are being replaced without addressing underlying causes such as binding calipers or worn discs. The tyre wear on all four corners, especially the outer rear, may indicate uneven loading or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for excessive play or corrosion, verify tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns, and check the chassis and exhaust for structural rust or damage. Confirming that the recent brake wear has not led to compromised braking performance will be essential for assessing long‑term reliability.
