2010 Peugeot Partner 600 Profess HDI 1.6L Diesel · FRZ 9247

The most recent MOT test on 2026-07-26 reveals a concerning pattern of repeated failures without recorded defects, despite the vehicle’s current age and mileage. The last two tests—both in 2025—ended in failure on consecutive attempts, with no explanations provided for the rejections. This suggests either a persistent but undocumented mechanical issue, a tester’s oversight in recording faults, or a pattern of rushed or incomplete inspections. The lack of advisories or defects in any of the five recorded tests further complicates interpretation, as even minor recurring problems (such as failing emissions, brake binding, or suspension wear) would typically be flagged. The vehicle’s roadworthiness cannot be confidently assessed without clarification on the 2025 failures, and the gap between the last pass (September 2023) and the most recent test (October 2025) is unusually long—nearly two years—raising questions about whether the vehicle was driven at all during that period. The mileage progression shows a steady but typical accumulation for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 11,300 miles annually. Between the 2023 and 2024 tests, the odometer advanced by roughly 2,000 miles in just over a year, which aligns with moderate usage. However, the jump from 178,581 miles in August 2024 to 181,336 miles by September 2025—just 2,755 miles in under a month—is unusually rapid and suggests either a short-term intensive driving period or an odometer rollback attempt. The absence of intermediate MOTs or service records during this time makes it impossible to verify genuine usage. If the vehicle was indeed driven at this rate, components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain may have experienced accelerated wear beyond what the MOT tests would typically reveal. Given the repeated failures without recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical high-wear areas. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often fail intermittently without triggering MOT defects. Brake systems, including calipers, discs, and master cylinders, warrant scrutiny, especially if the failures were linked to emissions or braking performance. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, which could contribute to failed emissions tests. Structural integrity, including underbody rust around the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, must be assessed, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age. The lack of advisories in prior tests implies these issues may not have been addressed, so thorough documentation of any findings is essential before proceeding with a purchase.
