2009 Peugeot Partner 625 S HDI 75 1.6L Heavy oil · DV09 VTN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent testing data is a significant concern. The most recent MOT conducted in April 2022 at 157,837 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. However, because over four years have elapsed since this inspection, the current state of the mechanical and safety components remains unverified and likely deteriorated significantly without a fresh assessment. The recorded mileage of 157,837 miles over 17 years reflects an average of approximately 9,285 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. There is a noticeable gap in records between February 2020 and April 2022, where the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in just two years. This period of higher intensity compared to previous years suggests accelerated wear on the drivetrain components, suspension, and braking system. The history shows a clean record of passes when testing was consistent, suggesting the previous owners addressed basic requirements during those active periods of operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension assembly, given the vehicle's age and the high mileage. While the digital MOT history does not list specific recurring failures, the Peugeot Partner of this era is prone to corrosion on the sills and rear subframe. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check for sagging coil springs, as these often fail after exceeding one hundred fifty thousand miles. Since the last test is long overdue, a thorough check of brake fluid levels, exhaust condition, and rubber hoses is mandatory before any purchase to ensure no mechanical neglect has developed in the absence of recent testing.
