2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MD18 OEO

The 16 September 2025 MOT at 111,710 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle met the DVSA roadworthiness standards at that time. The preceding test on 15 September 2025, recorded at 111,709 miles, failed on the central front seat belt, rear upper stop lamp, offside steering column shaft retaining clip, central front exhaust fumes entering the cabin and a broken flange on the exhaust silencer. The sharp reversal from a failure to a clean pass suggests that previous issues were addressed, but the proximity of the two tests indicates an unstable maintenance pattern rather than a steady improvement. The mileage trajectory shows a rapid increase relative to the vehicle’s 2018 manufacture date. It recorded 30,607 miles in June 2021, rose to 34,743 miles by July 2022, then jumped to 43,859 miles in September 2023, reached 84,879 miles by September 2024, and finally accumulated 111,710 miles by September 2025. The 9,116‑mile increase between July 2022 and September 2023 and the 41,136‑mile jump to September 2024 indicate periods of heavy use or extended standing that are not reflected in the earlier low‑mileage records. Recurring tyre wear (5.2.3 e) on all four wheels across the 2021, 2023 and 2024 tests points to possible alignment or suspension problems that should be inspected for worn bushes, ball joints or track‑rod ends. The repeated note that near‑side and off‑side front brake discs were worn, pitted or scored (1.1.14 a ii) at 84,879 miles and again at 111,710 miles signals that brake pads, discs and calipers may be approaching the end of their service life. Given the high annual mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers should be examined for excessive play or corrosion. The 2025 failure on the exhaust silencer likely to become detached and on exhaust fumes entering the cabin (8.1.1 b ii, 6.1.2 b i) warrants a close look at the exhaust mounting points, chassis welds and any signs of structural rust. The 2025 seat belt and rear stop lamp faults (7.1.2 c, 4.3.1 a ii) indicate that the seat belt mechanism and rear lighting should be tested for proper operation. A buyer should therefore verify the condition of the steering column retaining clip, exhaust system integrity, seat belt function, rear lighting, tyre tread depth, brake condition and overall chassis corrosion before committing to purchase.
