2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · FV67 NRY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 28,511 miles followed an initial failure due to a defective horn and thin front brake pads. While these were rectified to achieve a pass, the presence of multiple failures within a short four-day window in November suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they are flagged by the testing equipment. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a notable period between 2021 and 2023 where the vehicle passed with no defects between 6,986 and 16,017 miles. However, the jump of over 7,000 miles between November 2023 and November 2024 indicates a recent increase in usage. This low-mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must inspect the condition of the tyres closely, as the November 2024 test flagged all four tyres for cracking and perishing despite having sufficient tread depth. This confirms the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods, which can lead to sidewall rot and seized components. The emissions failure in late 2024 also suggests the engine may suffer from carbon buildup or poor combustion efficiency due to short trip cycles. Physical inspection should focus on the front brake system and discs, as the pads were already at the limit during the last test. Verify that the headlamp aim is now correctly aligned, as this was a point of failure previously. Given the history of low use, check for signs of seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common in vehicles that are not frequently driven.
