2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · KY67 ARF

The Peugeot Partner’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-01 at 74,642 miles, passed without any recorded defects, marking a stable conclusion to a pattern of repeated failures just before each test window. The vehicle failed twice—on 2025-08-27 and 2024-08-27—yet passed the subsequent tests without failings, suggesting the issues were rectified before each new inspection. While the absence of defects in the latest pass indicates compliance at the time, the history of near-term failures raises questions about whether underlying problems were consistently addressed or merely masked for the MOT. The lack of advisories or repeated faults implies no single critical component was neglected, but the repeated failures point to either a lack of pre-MOT preparation or intermittent issues that required last-minute attention. The recorded mileage of 74,642 miles over nine years aligns with typical usage for this model, averaging around 8,300 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2024-2025 period shows a consistent accumulation of roughly 11,000 miles between failures and passes. This suggests the vehicle was driven regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could mitigate some wear concerns. However, the repeated failures just before each MOT—spanning identical mileage ranges—may indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance or a component prone to failure at specific intervals, such as brake servicing or suspension alignment. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, as the repeated failures often correlate with binding or worn components. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and struts—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and subframe connections, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Tyre condition, while not flagged in the MOT, warrants scrutiny, as the lack of recorded defects could imply they were replaced just before the last test. Finally, check for signs of structural corrosion in the sills, wheel housings, and exhaust system, as these are common failure points in this model class and often go unnoticed until they compromise safety or emissions compliance.
