2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MJ13 ABF

This 2013 Peugeot Partner has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 2 February 2026 at 52,046 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if basic, maintenance over its lifetime. However, the most recent test occurred just five months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal—given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear in suspension components, brake calipers, and underbody corrosion. The recorded mileage of 52,046 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 4,000 miles annually, which is unusually low for a commercial van of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with roughly 12-month intervals between each MOT, though the March 2023 test at 44,859 miles stands out as an outlier—suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary for an extended period. This prolonged inactivity could contribute to issues like seized suspension bushes or degraded brake fluid, even if the MOT passed. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn or cracked bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding or uneven wear often develops. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has been stored for periods. Underbody corrosion is another critical concern—low mileage and potential standing periods may have allowed salt ingress to accelerate rust in the subframe or wheel arches. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or sagging, as catalytic converter efficiency was never explicitly tested, despite being a common failure point in this model.
