2012 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · EY12 KFR

This vehicle presents a fundamentally clean MOT record, with every test since 2020 returning a pass and no advisories or defects recorded. The most recent pass in October 2023 at 182,524 miles shows no immediate safety or mechanical concerns. However, the maintenance trend is ambiguous because the complete absence of any flagged issues across five tests is unusual for a high-mileage commercial van of this age. The record suggests either meticulous upkeep or a series of tests that missed developing wear. The mileage pattern raises a serious red flag. In March 2020 the odometer read 202,983 miles, yet by November 2021 it had fallen to 136,132 miles—a drop of over 66,000 miles. This is a clear mileage discrepancy, likely indicating an odometer replacement or tampering. After that, annual mileage from 2021 to 2023 was consistent at roughly 23,000 miles per year, which is plausible for a working van. The last MOT is nearly three years old, meaning the vehicle has been off the road or untested for an extended period. Given the mileage anomaly and the long gap since the last test, a buyer must verify the true mileage through service records, previous MOT certificates, and any documented odometer replacement. On inspection, pay close attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components—common wear items on high-mileage Partners that may now be deteriorating after years of standing. Structural corrosion, especially on the rear chassis and sills, should also be checked thoroughly. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but the mileage discrepancy and inactivity demand cautious due diligence.
