2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · CX66 BHU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 45,072 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2026-01-20 at the same mileage failed without any defects listed, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor technical issue resolved between tests. The 2025 tests at 32,743 miles showed a similar pattern of pass and fail with no defects, indicating an inconsistent MOT outcome rather than a mechanical decline. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clear evidence of worsening issues, but the repeated failures without recorded defects raise questions about the reliability of the testing process. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,072 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 5,008 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. A notable gap exists between the 2025 test (32,743 miles) and the 2026 test (45,072 miles), reflecting a sudden increase of 12,329 miles in one year. This abrupt rise could indicate heavy usage or a period of infrequent MOT testing, which might mask wear on components like tyres, brakes, or suspension. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests no immediate structural or mechanical risks, but the low mileage prior to 2026 raises concerns about potential dry rot or corrosion in static periods. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or degradation. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for leaks or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as inconsistent MOT results may hint at unresolved issues. Additionally, the underbody and chassis should be examined for rust, given the potential for prolonged inactivity. A professional inspection is advised to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT records.
