2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · EK65 PCZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend following a period of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT conducted in December 2024 at 104,204 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This clean result marks a significant shift from the December 2022 failure where the vehicle struggled with multiple systems including lighting, electronics, and braking. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 89,270 miles and December 2024 at 104,204 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles, suggesting regular annual use rather than long periods of standing. This steady usage is generally beneficial for preventing the premature rot of rubber components like suspension bushes and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system, as the 2022 failure highlighted a binding nearside rear service brake and dangerously thin pads. While the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, a manual check should verify that the rear calipers remain free of seizing and that the discs show no excessive heat scoring. The 2022 advisory regarding a perishing offside rear tyre suggests the previous owner occasionally neglected age-related wear, so the current tyres must be inspected for sidewall cracking. Given the age of the Peugeot Partner, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and arches is essential as corrosion is common on this model. The record does not show historical rust failures, but the transition from multiple failures in 2022 to clean passes in 2024 suggests the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state. Verifying the horn and all exterior lighting will ensure the electrical faults noted previously remain resolved.
