2020 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · KP20 EFM

The 2020 Peugeot Partner’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-21 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, though the record also shows a failed attempt at the same date and mileage (22,620 miles). This suggests the vehicle was tested twice within a single day, which may indicate a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding tests in February 2025 (18,600 miles) and February 2024 (14,947 miles) were both clean passes, reinforcing a stable maintenance pattern over the past two years. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or defects that would imply worsening mechanical conditions, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding, which often require closer inspection. The recorded mileage of 22,624 miles at the latest test is unusually low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,771 miles per year. This suggests either very light use or extended periods of inactivity, which could accelerate certain forms of degradation such as tyre dry-rot, suspension rubber perishing, or battery corrosion. The mileage jumps between tests are consistent: roughly 3,700 miles between February 2024 and March 2023, and another 4,500 miles between March 2023 and February 2025. There are no gaps longer than 12 months without a test, which is reassuring for structural components like the chassis or subframe, though prolonged standing could still affect fluid levels or minor corrosion. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that often fail without MOT flags. Focus on the suspension system—check for cracked or compressed coil springs, degraded bushes at the track arms or sway bars, and excessive play in the steering rack. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven disc wear, binding calipers, or corrosion in the wheel cylinders, as these can develop without causing a fail. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns are critical, given the low mileage; uneven wear could indicate alignment issues or suspension failure. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. The lack of advisories in the history does not guarantee these areas are clear, so visual confirmation is essential.
