2009 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · FL59 AEX

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status based on its most recent MOT pass on 2 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows no defects or advisories across the last three testing cycles. This lack of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It covered 12,018 miles between the September 2024 test at 159,983 miles and the October 2025 test at 172,001 miles. This represents a steady usage pattern, avoiding the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The jump from 132,918 miles in May 2023 to 159,983 miles in September 2024 shows a slightly higher period of activity, but nothing outside the norm for a commercial-style vehicle. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must manually inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion. MOT testers often overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity, but a 17-year-old Peugeot Partner is susceptible to oxidation on the sills and suspension mounting points. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee that consumables like brake discs or suspension bushes are in peak condition, only that they are not currently failing. A physical check of the engine oil and coolant condition is recommended given the 172,001-mile odometer reading. While the DVSA record shows no emissions failures, high-mileage diesel engines often develop slow leaks or turbocharger wear that a standard MOT might not detect. Focus on checking for oil weeping around the gaskets and ensuring the clutch does not slip under load.
