2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MA67 OCX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 26,479 miles passed, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and a perishing nearside rear tyre. These defects suggest that while the vehicle meets legal standards, the owner is only addressing components once they reach the point of failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old van, averaging only under 3,000 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the March 2022 and February 2024 tests during which the vehicle covered only 1,737 miles. Such low-frequency usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the structural failure of the nearside front tyre in March 2022 and the sidewall cracking on the nearside rear tyre noted in the February 2026 inspection. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the windscreen, which has been noted as damaged in every annual test since 2024. Despite not obstructing the driver's view, the persistent nature of this fault suggests a lack of attention to minor repairs. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. The suspension bushes and sidewalls should be examined for dry rot and cracking, as the age of the materials is a greater risk than the low mechanical wear.
