2012 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · KV62 FKH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 13, 2026, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The failure just one day prior to the successful test at 60,175 miles highlighted multiple immediate defects including inoperative lighting and a split offside front outer CV boot. While these issues were rectified quickly to achieve a pass, the trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,175 miles represents an average annual run of approximately 4,300 miles. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has seen light work or sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components regardless of distance travelled. Between the February 2025 test at 57,845 miles and the February 2026 test at 60,175 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,330 miles, confirming its low-use history. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and drivetrain components which have shown recurring signs of wear. The record noted a nearside front suspension arm bush in 2023 and a damaged offside track rod end dust cover in 2025. Given the split CV boot identified in early 2026, a buyer must check for grease leakage or damage to the driveshaft joint to ensure the replacement was thorough. The low mileage also warrants a close look for perished hoses, seized brake calipers, and corrosion, which are common on older vehicles that are infrequently driven.
