2020 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · MK70 XFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 131,616 miles, it failed just one day prior due to a damaged windscreen and all four tyres reaching the legal wear limit with signs of uneven edge wear. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed defects when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 22,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between February 2025 and February 2026, where the van covered 39,078 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation typically points to heavy commercial use or long-distance motorway commuting, which puts accelerated strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The clean record from 2024 and 2025 contrasts sharply with the recent deterioration seen at the higher mileage. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and alignment geometry, as the uneven wear noted on all four tyres in the February 2026 test often indicates worn suspension bushes or tracking issues. Given the high annual mileage, the brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning and sticking calipers, as these components fail quickly under heavy load. The buyer should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and inspect the condition of the clutch and gearbox, as the high-mileage engine is approaching major service intervals.
