2021 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · HS21 WPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 45,349 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same inspection due to an inoperative registration plate lamp and a faulty horn. The resolution of these basic electrical faults suggests the owner only addresses defects when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing regular pre-emptive checks. At 45,349 miles over five years, the Peugeot Partner has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The interval of 9,606 miles between the July 2024 test (35,743 miles) and the July 2025 test (45,349 miles) shows consistent use. However, the low mileage has not prevented the premature corrosion seen on the braking components noted across both testing cycles. A buyer must focus their attention on the braking system during a physical inspection. The record shows a recurring trend of pitting and scoring on the brake discs, with the rear pair flagged in July 2024 and the front pair flagged in July 2025. This persistent corrosion suggests the vehicle either sits for long periods or operates in a damp environment, leading to rapid surface oxidation. You should verify the thickness of the remaining pads and ensure the calipers are not seizing, which often causes the uneven disc wear observed. Given the previous failures regarding the horn and plate light, a thorough test of all external lighting circuits and warning equipment is necessary. While no structural integrity issues or suspension failures were recorded in the provided data, the state of the braking hardware indicates that the vehicle may require component replacement sooner than average. Inspect the front discs for any signs of deep rust grooves to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural thickness of the metal.
