MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

FX51 AMA MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Peugeot Partner (FX51 AMA) between April 2023 and April 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 24 April 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 12 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Brake load sensing valve seized and ABS not fitted or inoperative (1.1.17 (c) (ii))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution unless a comprehensive mechanical inspection can be performed. While the vehicle remains a functional workhorse, the history of significant brake and suspension failures suggests it may be entering a period of more frequent maintenance requirements.
When inspecting this van, pay close attention to the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows multiple failures for binding brakes and seized load-sensing valves, so ensure all braking components have been thoroughly replaced and not just patched up. Check the front CV boots and ball joints, as these have been flagged as points of failure in the past.
Ask for a full service history to verify how the persistent oil leaks have been managed. Given the age of the vehicle, check if the timing belt has been replaced recently, as this is critical for the diesel engine. Negotiate based on the recent advisories regarding the corroded brake pipe and perishing tyres, which will require immediate attention to keep the vehicle safe.
The 1868cc diesel engine is known for its efficiency, likely delivering 35-45 mpg depending on load and driving conditions. It falls into a relatively low tax and insurance bracket, making it an economical choice for small commercial use.
Maintenance costs are moderate, though you should budget for regular replacement of consumables like brakes and suspension components. An estimated annual running cost is £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing parts.
Focus on the offside front area; the most recent MOT noted a corroded brake pipe covered in grease, which can hide further structural decay. Also inspect the nearside front CV joint boot for tears or grease leakage, as this was previously marked as severely deteriorated.
Look under the vehicle for the exhaust system, as a major leak was recorded in 2023. Check the suspension ball joints and track ends for play, as these components have a history of failing due to excessive wear. Finally, check the tyres for cracking or perishing, as the history shows these are recurring issues.
This 2001 Peugeot Partner features the robust 1.9L diesel engine and has covered over 153,000 miles. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the history reveals a pattern of mechanical wear, including recurring brake issues, exhaust leaks, and suspension wear. The persistent presence of oil leaks over the last five years is common for this age and mileage but requires monitoring to ensure they do not escalate.
The 1.9 HDi diesel engine is generally considered reliable for high mileage, but auxiliary components like suspension and brakes prone to wear.
