2009 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · EA59 SYJ

The most recent MOT record from 12 September 2022 shows a failure followed by a pass, indicating a recent period of instability in roadworthiness. The vehicle failed on a dangerous defect involving a structural sidewall tear on the offside rear tyre. While the subsequent pass cleared this immediate danger, the tester issued an advisory for the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the inner edge. This suggests a recurring issue with tyre wear patterns that was not fully resolved by the 2022 inspection. The vehicle has covered 175,922 miles over its lifespan, averaging approximately 10,348 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with typical usage for a 2009 vehicle. However, the MOT data provided is sparse, with no recorded tests between September 2022 and the current date of 31 August 2026. This four-year gap in documented testing represents a significant period of unknown mechanical history and potential compliance risk. A physical inspection should prioritise the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2021 test on 13 September flagged a corroded brake pipe, and the 2022 advisory regarding uneven inner edge tyre wear often points to misaligned suspension components, worn bushes, or faulty shock absorbers. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion, particularly around the brake lines and subframes, is necessary to address the issues identified in the 2021 record. The buyer must also examine the current condition of all tyres. The repeated advisories and failures concerning tyre sidewall integrity and uneven tread wear suggest that consumable maintenance has been inconsistent. Checking the condition of the registration plate lamps and ensuring no further degradation of the brake piping has occurred since the 2021 advisory is also required. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.
