2012 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · DF12 CVR

The 2026-05-21 MOT at 111,957 miles confirms the 2012 Peugeot Partner remains roadworthy, with only advisory notes on near‑side and off‑side front suspension arm pins or bushes that show wear but do not cause excessive movement. The maintenance record shows a stable trend; the same suspension warnings re‑appear in 2025 and 2026, while no new serious defects have emerged since the 2024 clean test. The vehicle’s mileage climbs at roughly 8,000 miles per year, matching the expected usage for a 14‑year‑old model. Mileage rose from 62,986 miles in 2018 to 111,957 miles in 2026, a steady increase without abrupt jumps; the only notable gap is the two consecutive tests on 20 May 2020, which reflect routine re‑testing rather than a period of inactivity. Recurring faults centre on the front suspension: worn arm pins or bushes, slight play in the anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint, a split CV joint boot, and a fractured coil spring, all documented in 2023 and 2024. Earlier failures also recorded binding rear brakes and missing position lamps, indicating that previous owners addressed cosmetic lighting issues but allowed mechanical wear to persist. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front suspension components for excessive play, examine the anti‑roll bar and CV joint boots for damage, verify the integrity of the coil springs, and check brake calipers for binding or uneven wear. Additional checks of tyre tread, structural rust, and full lighting functionality will confirm whether the vehicle can be relied upon for continued use.
