2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MY57 JAY

The Peugeot Partner passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 59,155 miles, leaving it roadworthy but with minor consumable defects. The maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. Recurring non-safety lamp faults persist, yet no structural, brake, or suspension failures have emerged across the record. The tester flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge, a non-obligatory central rear stop lamp out, and a defective front wiper blade. Mileage sat at 17,676 in September 2022, then jumped to 32,406 by July 2024, and rose to 49,725 by June 2025 before reaching 59,155 in July 2026. That averages near 7,400 miles a year, typical for an eight-year-old van. A fourteen-month gap separates the 2022 and 2024 tests, after which annual testing resumed. The low early mileage implies light use or standing periods before 2024; later years show steady private or light commercial running. The July 2024 failure and pass on the same day exposed a severely deteriorated near-side CV boot, a dead near-side rear registration lamp, and a failed near-side dipped headlamp. The owner corrected all three before retest, suggesting faults were addressed only when forced. The central rear stop lamp has now failed advisories in both 2025 and 2026, marking neglected non-critical electrics across two owners. A buyer should inspect the near-side driveshaft CV boot for fresh cracking or grease loss, confirm the headlamp aim and dipped beam function, and check both rear tyres for uneven edge wear indicating misalignment or overloaded suspension. Verify the rear stop lamp wiring. With no corrosion, brake, or structural advisories logged, the chassis and running gear appear sound for the mileage.
