2014 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MF64 TAV

The Peugeot Partner’s MOT history presents a clean but unusual pattern, with the most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 123,164 miles passing without defects—a positive outcome that suggests the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness criteria at that point. However, the repeated failures on 10 and 9 August 2023 (at 108,145 and 115,354 miles ) and again on 9 August 2024 (at 115,354 miles ) are striking, particularly since no faults were recorded in any of these tests. This implies the failures were administrative—likely due to missing documentation, such as a service history or V5C logbook—rather than mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or defects across all five tests suggests no recurring wear or neglect, but the administrative failures hint at potential lapses in ownership records or dealer compliance, which could raise questions about how thoroughly the vehicle has been maintained outside of MOT requirements. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 10,264 miles per year over its 12-year lifespan. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would indicate heavy usage or prolonged storage, though the 7,209-mile jump between the 2023 and 2024 tests (from 108,147 to 115,355 miles ) suggests the vehicle was driven consistently without major breaks. The fact that the mileage has remained steady since the last MOT—now over 8 months old —means the next test is due shortly, and any new issues would not yet be reflected in the official record. Given the lack of defects, there’s no clear evidence of accelerated wear, but the administrative failures do warrant scrutiny of whether all servicing was properly documented. For a buyer, the absence of mechanical defects is reassuring, but the administrative failures raise practical considerations. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should verify that all servicing—particularly brakes, suspension components (such as bushes or coil springs), and structural integrity—has been up to manufacturer standards, even if not flagged by the MOT. Pay close attention to the rear brakes , which are a common failure point on this model, and check for corrosion on the sills or exhaust , as these areas often degrade over time despite passing tests. The exhaust emissions system should also be inspected, as modern diesel engines like this one can develop subtle leaks or DPF-related issues that may not always trigger an MOT advisory. Finally, confirm the vehicle’s full service history is complete, as the repeated administrative failures suggest there may be gaps in official records.
