2018 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · N6 VAF

The most recent MOT inspection conducted in November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When reviewing the broader history, the maintenance trend appears to have stabilised and improved. While the vehicle suffered a failure and several advisories in November 2023 regarding braking components and lighting, the subsequent two clean passes indicate that these defects were likely rectified, suggesting a return to a proactive maintenance schedule. With a recorded mileage of 64,642 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,080 miles per annum. This is considered a typical usage rate for a light commercial vehicle of this age. This moderate mileage suggests that the drivetrain and chassis have not been subjected to extreme heavy-duty wear, nor has the vehicle suffered from the degradation associated with prolonged periods of standing, such as seized calipers or perished seals. Despite the recent clean tests, the 2023 records highlighted significant wear across the braking system, specifically thin pads and pitted or scored rear discs. A prospective buyer should verify through service invoices whether these components were fully replaced or merely deemed acceptable for another year. During a test drive, pay close attention to any brake shudder through the pedal or high-pitched squealing, which would indicate the discs remain in a degraded state. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding the offside rear tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven loading; inspect the current tyre treads for irregular wear patterns that could point to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking. Given the vehicle's age and role as a utility van, a physical inspection should extend beyond the MOT history. Examine the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and suspension mounting points. Ensure the service book confirms the replacement of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical calendar-based maintenance items for this engine. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and the clarity of the headlights, as these often degrade over an eight-year period regardless of the mileage.
