2009 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · FJ09 MXW

The 2009 Peugeot Partner presents a stable maintenance trend, though its most recent MOT certificate, issued on 16 July 2025 at 62,758 miles, is now out of date as of July 2026. The record shows no defects recorded for this pass, nor for the preceding pass on 22 November 2023 at 61,283 miles. However, the DVSA history contains a notable anomaly: both the 2025 and 2024 tests list a failure and a pass on the exact same day and at the exact identical mileage, with the failures explicitly recording no defects. This pattern strongly suggests administrative data entry errors or aborted test submissions rather than genuine mechanical faults, as a failure requires a recorded defect. The mechanical trend remains stable, with no actual faults or advisories logged across the three-year history. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 3,692 miles annually. Between the November 2023 test at 61,283 miles and the November 2024 test at 62,291 miles, the van covered just 1,008 miles. This dropped further to a mere 467 miles over the subsequent eight months leading to the July 2025 test at 62,758 miles. Such minimal usage often points to prolonged stationary periods, which introduces its own mechanical risks despite the low wear on consumables. The data is sparse regarding actual usage, but the odometer clearly reflects a vehicle that has spent much of its life idle rather than accumulating highway miles. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle thoroughly for the specific ailments caused by long-term standing rather than high mileage. Tyres will likely suffer from flat-spotting and perishing of the sidewalls due to age rather than tread wear, requiring close scrutiny of the date codes. Brake discs will almost certainly exhibit surface corrosion from lack of use, and suspension bushes may have dried out or perished. The exhaust system and underbody require a rigorous check for structural rust, as low-mileage commercial vehicles often sit in damp conditions without the heat cycles needed to evaporate moisture. A physical inspection of the engine for diesel injector leaks or sticky calipers is essential before purchase.
