2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · FL13 SFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 113,324 miles resulted in a pass, it was achieved only after a failure just four days prior. That failure identified a split offside front CV boot, an insecure nearside headlamp, and a perished nearside rear tyre. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of failing an MOT test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between September 2024 at 111,571 miles and October 2025 at 113,324 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,753 miles. This low annual usage in the final year explains the recurring degradation of rubber components, such as the perishing and cracking noted on the tyres across multiple test cycles, which often occurs due to age and exposure to elements rather than distance driven. A buyer must inspect the offside front drive shaft boot to ensure it has been replaced and lubricated, as a split boot leads to rapid joint failure and grease loss. The history shows a pattern of neglecting consumable wear, with thin brake pads flagged in 2023 and multiple tyre defects from 2024 onwards. Given the insecure nearside front wheel arch liner noted in 2024, a physical inspection should check for hidden structural corrosion or bubbling paint in the arches, as loose liners often trap moisture that accelerates rust on Peugeot models of this age.
