2016 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · KD16 VRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 83,716 miles resulted in an initial failure due to lighting and suspension-related issues. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest, the recurrence of thin rear brake pads and play in the anti-roll bar linkage suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they threaten an MOT pass status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The vehicle covered 11,862 miles between the July 2024 test at 70,154 miles and the July 2025 test at 83,716 miles. This steady rate of use suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally helps preserve seals and engine components. However, the mileage is sufficient to justify the wear on consumable items and suspension components seen in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the offside front anti-roll bar linkage was already flagged for play. The recurring advisory regarding thin rear brake pads, noted in both August 2023 and July 2025, indicates that the braking system is nearing the end of its current service interval. Attention should also be paid to the lighting alignment, specifically the stop lamps and headlamp aim, which have been repeated points of failure in the two most recent inspections.
