2011 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MW60 EWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in May 2024 at 144,481 miles was a pass, it flagged all four tyres as being near the legal limit. The trend shows an improvement following a major failure in April 2023, where multiple critical defects were identified, suggesting the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of legal failure. At 144,481 miles over 15 years, the Peugeot averages approximately 9,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap in records between September 2021 and April 2023, during which the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles. The high density of failures in the 2023 test indicates that significant wear accumulated during this period without interim intervention, leading to a simultaneous failure of multiple components that should have been monitored during annual service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The April 2023 failure highlighted weakened front brake discs, thin pads, and fluctuating rotors, which often indicate heat damage or glazed surfaces from prolonged neglect. Given the previous report of a fractured offside rear coil spring and exposed cords on a nearside tyre, the suspension should be checked for signs of further corrosion or perished bushings. The recurring issue of low brake fluid levels between 2023 and 2024 suggests a potential leak or extreme pad wear that requires verification to ensure the hydraulic system remains sound.
