2010 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · J24 HAF

Tyre condition dominates the MOT record, with recurring advisories for cracking or perishing on the off‑side front and rear tyres and tread wear on the near‑side rear across four consecutive tests; the latest 2025‑11‑05 pass confirms the same tyre concerns remain, while other components have shown only isolated faults. Brake disc wear was flagged in 2024 and a rear‑brake imbalance noted in 2023, but no failures have been recorded since, indicating the braking system has not deteriorated to a failing state yet. Lighting defects—headlamp, position lamp and washer failures—appeared as major failures in 2024 but were resolved by the subsequent pass, leaving the vehicle presently roadworthy but still bearing a history of intermittent electrical issues. At 122,100 miles the vehicle averages roughly 7,600 miles per year, a figure that sits comfortably within normal usage for a 2010 commercial van. The MOT history shows a consistent annual testing pattern with no significant gaps, suggesting the mileage has been accrued steadily rather than in large, unrecorded bursts. This steady accumulation means wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension components will be proportionate to the mileage, but the repeated tyre advisories hint that the tyre set may be approaching the end of its service life despite the moderate annual mileage. Prospective buyers should give the tyre set a thorough visual and tactile inspection: look for sidewall cracks, bulges, and tread depth approaching the legal minimum, especially on the off‑side front and rear where the MOT notes have been repeated. A tyre tester or tread depth gauge should confirm at least 1.6 mm across the widest point; any irregular wear patterns could indicate alignment or suspension issues that also merit checking. While driving, listen for thumping or vibration that may betray a deteriorating tyre or a developing wheel‑bearing fault. The brake system warrants a focused test‑drive: feel for any pulsation or judder through the pedal, note any pull to one side, and listen for squeal that could signal worn pads or scoring on the rear disc noted in 2024. Verify that the handbrake holds firmly and that the vehicle stops in a straight line, as the 2023 rear‑brake imbalance advisory suggests the system may still be marginal. Finally, confirm that all exterior lights operate correctly—headlamp on dipped beam, position lamp, registration plate lamp and windscreen washer—since these were previously recorded as major failures; a quick functional check of each lamp and the washer spray will ensure no hidden electrical fault remains.
