2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · HW03 DAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 125,680 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative registration plate lamp, an ineffective fuel cap, and a dangerously worn offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed the re-test just six miles later, the presence of these faults suggests that minor electrical and mechanical defects are only being addressed when mandated by an inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 9,668 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between 2022 and 2025, with the odometer rising from 109,450 miles to 125,686 miles. The interval between the June 2024 and August 2025 tests shows roughly 8,300 miles driven, indicating regular use which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and components compared to vehicles that suffer long periods of standing. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the August 2025 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the inner edge often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2024 failure for a deteriorated offside front CV boot also necessitates a close look for grease leakage or further rubber cracking, which can lead to driveshaft failure. Additionally, the reported fuel cap locking mechanism should be tested to ensure the seal remains intact and the mechanism operates without binding, as this was a recent point of failure.
